IT WAS A PLEASURE TO BE YOUR NEIGHBOR. I WATCH YOU AS YOU HELPED YOUR BELOVED WIFE SUFFER TO HER DEATH. I REMEMBER NIGHTS ON THE FRONT PORCH SITTING WITH MARY WHEN SHE WAS WELL.I REMEMBER WATCHING YOUR KIDS GROW UP INTO THE LOVELY YOUNG MEN & WOMEN THEY BECAME. IT IS NOW WITH A HEAVY HEART THAT I SAY GOOD-BYE TO MY BEST NEIGHBOR IN CHICAGO. R.I.P. DAN UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD.

In most people's lives they have a person that they look up to, admire, idolize. Someone who engraved a part of themselves on that person. I was fortunate to have 4 great idols. My Father, who stood by my side when needed. My Uncle Marty, who taught me humility, that sometimes its better to just be quiet. My Uncle John, who taught me pretty much everything that I know today, an had a big part of who I am. And then Mr. Nolan, who taught me how to be a good family man, dependable, trustworthy, dedicated, faithful and hardworking and a good provider. He showed me what it meant to be a family man. From working hard to provide, to coaching and being involved with community. Each had a hand in making me a man of my word. And each engraved a part of themselves onto me. And for that these men will forever hold a place in my heart that now seems to be empty and dark due to the loss of my last great idol. I am on my own now, And It will be and has been hard to carry on, and i will try to make them all proud,. So till we meet again..... Thank you all. Marty. — Martin Kraslen, Channahon, Illinois -

I will always miss you grandpa. Please you and grandma keep an eye out for the family? Were like a deer in headlights without you.

Dad, I am soooo sorry I thought I had everything covered. I forgot to tell the funeral home to sew your eyes open so you could see everybody that came. I want to tell you they did come. Actually, that would have been so cool to see your beautiful blue eyes again, Ben even brought your glasses. In any event, I just want you to know how surprised you would have been and how extremely comforting it was to us, no jury bus showed up but so many that did really warmed our hearts. Time just seems to get by us, not you though, and I just wanted to have the last wordsssss. THANK YOU: For not giving up when mom died. For sitting by my hospital bed everyday for 3 1/2 months, 6 months after mom died. For taking care of grandma (you mother-in-law)as if she was your own. For always being the go to guy, even if we had to be lectured, whenever we needed help. For loving your children & grandchildren so much that you would endure anything. For arranging everything so the kids and I had a moment to make remembering you more special. For having 8 children (which I always thought was nuts) so the could have many more children that I Love So Much as I know you did. For trusting me soooo much. I'M SORRY: I didn't recognize that the tough, stubborn, strict SOB side of you was not you soon enough. I lost my patients sometimes. It took so long to let go. For not realizing soon enough, all the sacrifices & suffering that you did was truly ALL for us and saying thank you enough for it. We were too stupid to look beyond your crabbiness. Several times throughout my life you said "Nobody ever taught you how to Love so you I don't know how". That is so far from the truth dad and the proof was in the '3 words' every grandchild and great-grandchild (that knows words)gave me to describe you. You may not have been able to say "I Love You." but you definitely knew how to show it in action and deed. I hope you were pleasantly surprised today by all the lives you touched, I know I was. I love you DAD and I promise to try to honor all the things you tried sooooo very hard to teach us. I am truly blessed to have the parents that I had.

I remember Dan at Marquette Boys baseball. Weather he was umpiring or watching a game. He always caught my eye, his fireplug size, flat haircut and stern voice. It was always encouraging to see "Mr.Nolan" around. He did a favor for me once and I never forgot it! I know he is in a better place holding hands wth Mary! R.I.P. Mr. Nolan. It was an honor to know you.
