He began his professional career in the mailroom at Wisconsin Motors at 22 years of age and worked his way up to Vice President of Human Resources until his retirement after 45 years with Teledyne Aeronautical in California. Dan and Betty enjoyed the golden years of retirement, traveling and golfing. Their favorite travel destination was back home to Wisconsin and Minnesota, where they spent time with family and friends.
