Dan will be remembered as someone with a great sense of humor and was always smiling, joking and laughing. He had a big heart that was very loving, loyal, generous, warm and a father-figure to many. His greatest accomplishment was becoming a grandpa. Dan enjoyed telling stories to everyone he loved, and to anyone that would listen. He enjoyed company and conversations with all. From early on he always had a love for motorcycles and fast cars. He was always looking for the next adventure. His family and friends loved him very much and will greatly miss all of those things.
