Dan Mullinâs optimism and a sparkling positive outlook were part of why hundreds wanted to be counted among his closest friends, and those traits were characteristically on display while he was treated for cancer the past six years.
âHe would hear an update on the status of his cancer with the doctor saying, âYouâve got three tumors that are growing and one that is unchanged,â â his nephew Dan Scheib recalled, âand Dan would turn to me and say, âIsnât that great? One tumorâs unchanged.â â
