Daniel Diefenderfer Obituary

Diefenderfer Daniel Walter March 31, 1940 - November 27, 2024 Dan passed quickly and peacefully in his home.

Dan was an avid fan of classic racing cars, traveling the country to judge in regional and national events for the American Antique Automobile Club. He was also committed to local civic activities, serving in an elected role to Radnor's Democratic Committee for nearly 20 years. Dan is survived by his daughter and her family: Sandra, Clas-Goran and Niclas
