Updated: State Rep. Dan McNeil, RIP

Dan McNeill at one of several addiction town halls 
State Representative Dan McNeill passed away on Friday. I was completely unaware that he was even ill.

Dan will be remembered as a big man with an even bigger heart who tried to help people suffering from addiction. You can read his obituary here.

Arrangements are as follows:
Wednesday 6-9 PM viewing.
Thursday 11 AM Funeral, burial and Luncheon immediately following.
Faith Evangelical Lutheran Church.
3355 MacArthur Rd Whitehall PA 18052

The luncheon will take place at the American Club Pavilion on Coplay.

It was Danny’s great wish to make sure his beloved Granddaughter MacKenzie “Kenzie” would be able to go to college. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made toward the education fund established for his granddaughter “Kenzie". Checks may be made payable to Jeanne McNeill and mailed to 444 Pershing Blvd, Whitehall, PA 18052.

    Yes, he had stage 4 lung cancer but was about to undergo treatment in New York. He was in his office in the morning. It happened unexpectedly,

    Dan was a good man. I hope someone will champion his causes against addiction at the state level. He will be missed by all who knew him

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
