In 1940 he married Sara "Tootsie" Jacobs, whom he had met while in college. They recently celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary. Dan owned the Fashion Shop, selling high-end women's clothing and accessories. He always had a smile and a kind word for everyone he met. He was a member of the Twin Mountain Tonesmen, the Shriners, the Antique Auto Club and Kiwanis along with being on board of directors with the YMCA and the San Angelo Symphony Board. He was preceded in death by his son, Barry Kleinman.
