Also preceding in death was his sister, Joyce Niles. Dan attended Bucyrus High School where he was on the tennis team. He continued his education earning multiple Master's Degrees from The Ohio State University. Dan loved to golf, was an avid Buckeye fan and a long-suffering Cleveland Browns fan. He spent many vacations with his wife attending dog shows, cheering on his wife and dogs then happily collecting the ribbons that were earned.
