On July 27, 1963 he was united in marriage to the love of his life Peg Tomashek. They had three children Tom, Tim and Tracy.
Dan enjoyed spending time with his family. Dan spent many hours in the gym, from playing basketball at Shawano high school to coaching his kids, grandkids and influencing many other young athletes to love the game of basketball like he did. With six grandchildren Dan never missed a sporting event. He was known for his kind, gentle manner and will be missed by all.
