  15. My sincere condolences and prayers to the Thomas Family. Dan was my supervisor at Pentair around 2000 2001. Dan was such a character; he had the funniest sayings and jokes. As a boss his seriousness came with compassion. When he found out I was from Pennsylvania he was very interested in where I came from, I thought, I think that was he way of understanding me. I was a little rough around the edges trying to adapt to country living. I’m over the moon with gratitude that he took time to understand me. I thank you so much for that. Dan Thomas you will be truly missed. Until we meet again.
