Later, he was employed at the Fox Lake Correctional Institution as a cabinet making instructor in a shop class for the inmates. Dan was a connoisseur of nature. His favorite pastimes were enjoying the outdoors and bow hunting. He loved the North woods and especially "da Zanon family camp" that he built eight years ago near Niagara, Wisconsin. Dan is survived by his son Jacob (Emily Bartusek) Zanon of Winona, MN; his mother Audrey Zanon; his sister Linda (Ron) Beich; and his brother Keith R. Zanon all of Beaver Dam. He is further survived by other relatives and many friends. He was preceded in death by his father Raymond Zanon. In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting donations be made out to Jacob Zanon for the Dan Zanon Youth Fund which will support the 4th annual Izaak Walton League of America's Youth Ice Fishing Event. Dan was a faithful supporter of this youth event held on the backwaters of the Mississippi River near Winona Minnesota. Donations in his name will ensure that the kids prizes, free lunch, and other supplies to host the event will be obtainable for many years to come.
