Dan's Memorial Service :: Saturday, January 19, 2002
The memorial service for Dan was held at Horizon Christian
Fellowship, about three blocks from Siskowic's church, Clairemont Covenant
Church. Over 1,000 people including family, friends attended the service.
Dan touched a lot of people's lives.
The service itself
began with a keyboard prelude (some of Dan's favorite classical music)
by Steve Saye and Sarah Davis (a young family friend and gifted musician
whose talent Dan greatly admired) from Dan's church and Carl Eitzen (Liz's
second cousin), trumpet, played the Lord's Prayer.
Three praise songs
were sung: "I Could Sing of Your Love Forever", "Sweet
Mercies", and "Stand In Awe", scripture readings were read
and prayer was offered by the co-paster of Clairemont Covenant Church.
Memories of Dan's
life were shared by Cameron Siskowic, Phil Huffman and Jeff Jones, two
of Dan's good friends, followed by special music, "He's Always There".
The message was
given by Pastor Lyle Heintz and was followed by two more praise songs
and the benediction.
Everyone at the
memorial service was invited to a reception on the Berkeley Ferry Maritime
Museum on Harbor Drive near the Star of India. About 500 attended.
Family and friends
gathered at Liz's house after the reception.
