Thomas Daniger Obituary
12/12/1925 - 12/3/2014
Our beloved husband and father Thomas J. Daniger Jr. passed away peacefully on Wednesday, December 3rd 2014. His wife Valeria Smith Daniger was by his side at home during his final journey.
Tom and Val were high school sweethearts and married on January 18th, 1944, while he was in the merchant marines and they had a wonderful life together for 70 years. Their traveling with friends on motor home trips and cruises (over 55) were some of the many great times they shared.
Tom gave many years of his life as chairman of the board for Shriners Hospital and helped develop the new hospital for Shriners in Salt Lake. Through hard work with his wife, Tom started up and ran a successful furniture business "Daniger Distributing Co. (Home Furnishings Mall).
He will be missed by his wife; daughters Kristine D. James and Karla D. Sippel; son-in-law James E. Sippel; son Bruce T. Daniger; 5 grandchildren; and 15 great grandchildren; all of whom appreciate the wonderful love and giving he graciously gave to his entire family and the community. Preceded in death by his 6th grandchild Toma.
