Dear Grey,

I knew Dan as Mr. K back in 1979. Even back then he was a great christian man and left a lasting impression. I was emailing with a friend from Prairie High School at Prairie Bible Institute and just learned of his passing.

Mr. K was my high school dean and was one of the few men that God used to shape my life. I am 46 now and rare is the day that I don't think of him.

God bless,

Hal Capshaw

Gandalf the Grey

But the last-comer was named among the elves Mithrandir, the Grey Pilgrim, for he dwelt in no place, and gathered to himself neither wealth nor followers, but ever went to and fro in the Westlands ... befriending all folk in times of need. Warm and eager was his spirit for he was the Enemy of Sauron, opposing the fire that devours and wastes with the fire that kindles, and succours in wanhope and distress; but his joy, and his swift wrath, were veiled in garments grey as ash, so that only those that knew him well glimpsed the flame that was within. Merry he could be, and kindly to the young and simple, and yet quick at times to sharp speech and the rebuking of folly; but he was not proud, and sought neither power nor praise, and thus far and wide he was beloved among all those that were not themselves proud. Mostly he journeyed unwearyingly on foot, leaning on a staff; and so he was called among Men of the North Gandalf, 'Elf of the Wand'.
