Daniel "Dan" Anthony Saylor

Daniel “Dan” Anthony Saylor passed away on November 29th, 2024 at the age of 83 in Altamonte Springs, Florida. He is survived by his wife Kathy, his three children, Dawn (husband Dennis), Diana (husband Andy), and Danny Jr. (fiancée Isala), his six grandchildren, Brittnie, Amanda, Samantha, Nicole, Nicholas, and Ryan, and his five great-grandchildren, Estella, Rylee, Zayden, Gabriella, and Novalee.

Dan met the love of his life, Kathy, at a record hop dance in their hometown of Leominster, Massachusetts. He had first seen her working at the soda fountain a week prior – when he saw her again at the dance, he knew he had to meet her. This year marked their 63 year anniversary.

Dan was an independent and self-sufficient man. He worked his way up from working in a shoe store to becoming a top executive at many shoe companies, including the President of Titan Footwear. His successful career led to numerous accolades and to his many travels across the globe.

As well as showing grit in his career, Dan was incredibly resilient, surviving multiple hardships in his early life. He brought joy to all who knew him. He could always take a tough situation and turn it into something filled with laughter. Dan was also a brilliant mind who knew every fact of history – something he often shared with his grandchildren. He was an ambitious man who was successful in his career, a caring husband and loving father, and a beloved grandfather. He will be missed.
