I met Dan in 1949 as the first students at St. Basils Grammar School and throughout our high school years at St. Vincent's Ferrer High School in the Class of 1957. We shared two undefeated basketball seasons at St. Basils Grammar and then he continued to excel at St. Vincent's. Over the years we lost contact, but every 5 years our friendship would renew at our 5 years reunions. He will always be a wonderful part of my life. I offer my love and sympathy to his family. He was one hell of a guy....

Dan was one of the best High School Football Referees, as a coach he made the game so much more enjoyable. I also was fortunate to have umpired many softball games with him over the years!! Good Man will truly be missed!!!! I am blessed to have known him. RIP Dan Leary

He was a young lay teacher to my 8th grade class at St.Peter Martyr School in Pittsburg..1964? In reading the obit I’m pleased to see he succeeded and excelled in his profession..our class sure didn’t make it easy for the young teacher. To this day we reminisce about all the pranks he endured trying to teach our sassy class! Great memories! May he Rest In Peace in his heavenly home.
