He married Joan Eadie of Belmont where they settled as a family, and spent many summers in Gloucester, MA and Cape Cod.
He held many different jobs which reflected his passions for fixing, building, tinkering, restoring, collecting and selling.
"Dan the Man" as he was known to friends and family always stepped up to take on any task for those who asked. He was gentle, humble, social and giving. His daughters were his pride and joy.
He was past Commanding Captain of the Lexington Minutemen for years, active in Scouting, and enjoyed fishing, sailing, travel, yard sales and antiques. He left an indelible mark on all those he touched.
