Daniel "Dirty Dan" as I remember had a great sense of humor. He was a wonderful father and friend to many. I enjoyed staying at is home in Hancock and fishing at the 18. I also looked forward to his stories and dinner every time I visited and I cant forget the rides on his Harley. He will be greatly missed!
