Dan worked as a Journeyman Electrician until his retirement in 2004 from the (IBEW) International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 648. He was a proud member of the union for 56 years, having been inducted on December 1, 1970. Known affectionately as “Dirty Dan” among his union brothers and as “Old Fart” to his grandchildren.

He enjoyed singing quirky little tunes, sticking his tongue out at the grandkids, and aggravating his wife. He loved history, politics and the news. Dan was gifted in building, woodworking, drawing, and writing, and was always ready with a joke. He will be remembered for his quick wit, creativity, and sarcastic remarks. Dan will be deeply missed by everyone who knew him.
