Dan began a successful career in Connecticut with his ironwork company, Union City Steel. He was a member of Ironworkers Local 15 in Hartford, CT.
Dan loved his family and friends as well as boats, Corvettes, collecting antique guns, football (the Dallas Cowboys) and enjoying a beer at one of his favorite hangouts with friends. He lived in CT, TX, CO and back in NY. He loved a road trip and explored almost every state, always making friends along the way.
There will be a celebration of life at St Ann's Community Chapel at 1500 Portland Ave. in Rochester, NY on July 13th at 11:00 AM.
In lieu of flowers, Dan would love prayers for the Dallas Cowboys to win the 2025 Super Bowl. He certainly said enough of them during his life.
