Mr. Dungan was my favorite teacher in middle school at South Shore. I had just moved here from Detroit, Mi. I’m very sad to hear of his passing. Rest in Peace Mr. Dungan…
Favorite teacher of all time!

Rest in peace Mr. Dungan…
He was, bar none, the best teacher I have ever had (from 6th – 8th grade. 1977 – 1979)
The things he taught went beyond school and into one’s life. I have thought of him often over the years.
Dan was a wonderful pastor and friend. We worked together in the Ministerial Association of the NPC for several years, and I was privileged to know him and call him a brother in Christ. He will be sorely missed but we will see him again in the fullness of time. Peace to his memory.
Dan was a good man. It was obvious that he loved God and people. He was an outstanding teacher as well. He taught both of my sons when they were in middle school. When he retired he left a huge hole to be filled on their campus he served because of the way he lead and taught students. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Dan was a Covenant pastor. I will miss Dan.
