I will add my voice to the chorus of those who state that Bill Dana was a very friendly and generous man. He will be truly be missed by all who knew him or met him. |

I picture him now at peace with Neil Armstrong at his side. Finally they are able to have a nice quiet conversation together sharing old stories for eternity.God Bless. |
