Dan married his beloved wife, Jacqueline, on Jan. 16, 1968.

Dan graduated from Tidioute High School. Following graduation, he enlisted in the US Marine Corps to honorably serve his country. Following his discharge, he had a passion for the VFW and put a lot of time into it; he was a past Post Commander at his post VFW Post #8803 where he was a life member.
