Daniel Nicholas Germann

passed away peacefully at Brown

Memorial on August 19, 2016

with his daughter, Ruth Ann

Galbraith and loving sister,

Marcele Bowen, by his side.

Dan was born in Ripley, Ohio

on July 20, 1927. After graduation

from Ripley Union High School,

he drove truckloads of grain from

farms in Brown County and Ripley

Ohio to the dealers and mills in

Cincinnati. He was a night watchman,

meat cutter and school maintenance

worker. He was also a volunteer

fireman for 25 years and never lost

his desire to help others. In 2000, Dan

made his home in Circleville, Ohio

where he quickly became a legend on

his three-wheeled bicycle riding around

town volunteering his time at the Canal

Park, the Historical Society and wherever

he saw an opportunity. At his home at

Brown Memorial, he raised a garden while

nurturing his love for the outdoors.

When asked “How are you?”, Dan always

enthusiastically responded, “I’m Peachy”!

Dan was predeceased by his parents Nick

and Ruth (Neel) Germann of Ripley and

three sisters, Annella, Susan and Gwen.

Dan is survived by his daughter, Ruth Ann

(Ken) Galbraith of Mt. Orab, grandchildren,

Kenny Ray (Jennifer) and Angeline Galbraith,

three great-grandsons and former spouse,

Lillian. He is also survived by his sister

Marcele (John) Bowen and brothers Paul

of St. Petersburg, FL and Greg of West

Union and many nieces and nephews.
