Where Leaders Are Made

Dear Friends,

I am so sorry to share the news that our beloved friend Dan Rose has passed into heaven. We have lost such a good friend and I am deeply saddened as I know you will be to hear this message.

We will always remember his amazing smile, his calm nature and his willingness to share his knowledge and expertise with everyone. He loved us and our club and was always one of the first to go the extra mile to help out. We were privileged to hear his wonderful stories about his family and his life and adventures in Louisiana. He loved them both so much.

Dan has been in Toastmasters for over 20 years and came to the Speaking Machine in 2009. We were fortunate to share in his becoming a Distinguished Toastmaster and are so proud of him. He has served our club many years as an officer and part of our executive leadership team. I personally am honored to have shared and reaped so much with his mentorship and friendship.

Dan, thank you for your many kindnesses, and for your love. You smile will forever remain in our hearts.

Dan’s Memorial Service will be held on Saturday January 27 at 10 AM. Location is at East Lawn, 2525 Greenback Lane, Sacramento.

Rest In Peace, Dan.
