Remembering Dan Brindley A life of service and kindness
Editor Dave Elder recalls Dan Brindley who died Monday and was laid to rest that afternoon after a life of long work and years in public service. Dan never swore, befriended many across walks of life, and ran the Washington and Second Ave Standard Oil station for decades. He also managed the Iowa State Liquor store here, supported community drives, and helped the Y's Men, where his backstage toil kept plays running. Dan endured illness with courage, leaving friends to grieve his loss and celebrate a fundamentally good man.
