After graduating and serving in the Navy during the Vietnam War (1965-69), Dan moved his family to New Hampshire, where he opened and operated his own tire and auto shop for several years.

He took every opportunity to take them out.

Dan and Jan recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. He will be missed by all.
