Daniel was known for being a people person, sometimes striking up conversations with perfect strangers as he always had happy demeanor. He was known to open doors for people or ask that they go ahead of him. This character trait is one that defined his life. Daniel enjoyed playing cards, loved the watching the Colts each Sunday, and the company of his dog Morgan. However, his family meant more to him than anything else.
Benjamin Franklin said "There never was a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous." Daniel left an indelible mark on all his family and those he met every day with his courtesy, kind heart, and his willingness to help others before himself. We will miss him dearly everyday.
