Dan worked at JJ Keller for 17 years, throughout his deployments. Dan was a patriotic and protective man who served his country and his family well. He gave regularly to military organizations and others in need.  Dan has many extended family and friends that love and look up to him. He will be remembered most as an exceptional role model, problem solver, mentor, family man, and Veteran.
