Just to clear up any potential confusion. On Friday April 14th, 2023, I lost my Father and as many of you can relate even though we know life will come to pass it still feels like a tree falling on you when it happens. Somewhat expected or not… I Dan (Jr.) can assure you I am still here to provide Tree Services and although I needed some time to grieve D & A Tree is back at it and scheduling tree work on a full schedule. It is understandable that in a small community, and that I have the same name as my father that some of my loyal customers and members of the community thought that I had passed. If it is the Lord’s will I hope to be cutting down trees for year’s to come. Thanks to all of you that have contacted me or Arlene, for not only Tree Work, but to support us and our family in our time of sorrow. Sincerely, Dan Hornak (Jr.) & Arlene
