Dan had a special relationship with all his nieces, nephews and siblings. He will be sadly missed by many great nieces and nephews and one great great little niece. He will also be missed by his very good friends Tim, Mitch, Mike and Robbie. Danny loved the outdoors, whether it was hunting, fishing, quading or hanging out in the barn with all his good friends. He was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone, expecting nothing in return and always stopped to talk to whomever crossed his path. He was a member of Onaping Falls Branch 503 since 1984 and volunteered many hours there. Dan was mom’s care giver for many years after dad passed away in 2004.
