Dan was a veteran of the United States Army and served in the Korean War. He graduated from Southeastern Louisiana University with a Bachelors of Arts Degree in Sociology. Dan retired from American Hoechst Corporation in 1986 after 30 years of service. He also worked for decades as a licensed contractor in Baton Rouge and built many homes and apartment complexes in the area. Dan, known as Grandy by most, enjoyed spending time with his family. He was a wonderful cook, red beans and rice and stuffed cabbage were his signature dishes. He was an avid wood worker and fruit tree growing enthusiast. He was blessed to have seen most of the world from the North Pole to the South Pole. Most importantly, Dan was a devout Christian and lived a life led by faith. Although his family and friends will miss him dearly, there is no doubt that he is now with our Heavenly Father.
