Mr. Dahm lives on in his beautiful family. It is obvious that he raised Amy well, who in turn instilled what she had learned from him in her own wonderful boys. On the few occasions when I met him, he was gentle and gracious, and I am blessed to have had those occasions. Sending love and prayers to the family.

Dad you were the best example a daughter could have as a father. I love you so much! I have so many memories of us together from the canoe trip to when we worked together at the credit union, Focus and others places. I learned all about business, customer service and respect during those times. Of course, the memories with us as a family remain closest to my heart. Thank you, God, to have blessed me with such wonderful parents. I will be forever grateful to you both. I miss you already, Dad, and I will every day until we meet again. Mom - I LOVE YOU!!
