Dec. 23, 1953 - Nov. 18, 2009

Daniel Ray Allshouse, 55, of South San Francisco, Calif., died on Nov. 18, in South San Francisco.

Dan was born on Dec. 23, 1953, in Cody, Wyo.

He was the son of Lawrence Pete Allshouse and Lois (Taylor) Allshouse. Growing up, he was good at anything and everything mechanical or electrical.
