Daniel Lewis Bozich Sr.

Dan was born in Portland, Oregon on April 12, 1950, to James Bozich Sr. and Marian Austen Bozich. Dan was a very giving husband, father, and grandfather. He always took the time to explain how things operated. He had never-ending patience to answer questions and play with the kids. He loved having the kids climbing all over him. That was probably because he was still a kid himself. Dan had a lifelong love of cars and going fast. He had a stock car for a time and loved going to the races, or watching them on TV. His prized possession was the 1970 GTO that the kids and grandkids helped him restore recently. He was preceded in death by his parents and brother Jim.
