Daniel Paul Toomey

Dan Toomey died peacefully at home in Burlingame, Calif., following a courageous battle with cancer on Feb. 24, 2017. He was 68.

He was born to the late Tom and Jennie Toomey on July 20, 1948, in Scranton, Pa. Dan was a 1966 graduate of Dunmore High School. After graduating high school, he served in the Army as a Military Police soldier during the Vietnam war.
