Dan was a lifelong resident of the Town of Colonie. Raising his family in the home he was born in on Osborn Road. He would reside in this home until he was 84 at which time he moved with his wife to the Beltrone Living Center where he made many new friends.
Dan worked for the Town of Colonie for over 35 years eventually becoming the supervisor of the Colonie Water Treatment Plant. He was an avid bowler and golfer well into his 80s. In his retirement he was employed by the Town of Colonie Golf Course.
Dan was a gentle giant. He loved people and was an encourager to all who knew him. In addition to his love and commitment to his family, he had a passion for mentoring young boys and men thru his involvement in coaching Colonie Little League, Babe Ruth and American Legion baseball teams.
