Day Six: A time to Reflect

Yesterday was both an uplifting and very somber day. I attended the funeral of an old neighbor, Daniel Pastirik. He passed last Sunday at the age of 53. He leaves behind two daughters - Stephanie and Amanda - and a wife of 29 years, Julie.

I got to hear a few of the stories that helped define Dan as a person. He was a person who touched others through his words as well as his actions. Within the community, he was a cherished softball coach. At 3M, he was well respected among his peers. In his family, he was a loved father, husband, brother, son and uncle.  To us all, a man who walked with a quiet strength knowing that his faith would lead the way home.


Dan, you will be missed by those you touched.
