He worked as a circulation manager for several trade magazines and enjoyed gardening and crosswords. Most of all, he enjoyed spending time talking and being with his family and friends. The one thing that made Dan so incredible is that he would go out of his way to make sure people knew how special they were to him. He treated everyone with kindness and respect. As one of God’s angels, dad loved to help people anyway he could without ever asking for anything in return. In his final words to his family, he wanted to make sure we told all of his friends and family how special they were and how much he loved them. Dan knew that we’d all be together one day down the line.
