Loyal dependable and loving. Dan was a hard working man with a go-getter attitude. He loved listening to his radio while doing projects in and around the house, or tending to his plants. He always tried to look out for his family and protected us. Dan had a good sense of humor, he loved playing pranks and having fun with friends and family. All who met him respected him. Those who knew him loved him. Though he didn't say it, he showed how much he cared by always being there for anyone who needed him. Supporting American made and union always. He had a strong presence, was very stubborn and set in his ways.
Dan had so much to offer and left too soon.
Whether you knew him as "Digger Dan", Mr. Wonderful, or just Daniel. Dan was Dan and we cant imagine the world without him..
