From early childhood, Dan was fascinated with how things worked. He spent many hours watching and helping adults repair cars, bikes, household items, etc. His endless interest in how things work was lifelong. At a very young age, he devised an intercom, enabling him to communicate with his siblings, from the main floor of their home, to their upstairs bedroom.
Dan found peace in, and enjoyed the simple things in life. Among them were spending hours on the road, driving a truck for a living; listening to music; and most of all, spending quiet times with his pets.
