He was born October 20, 1936, to Maurice and Loretta Langenderfer at their home. He attended Immaculate Conception School and graduated from Swanton High School in 1954. After graduation, he was in the Army Reserve followed by employment at Hydra-Matic. On June 6, 1959 he married his high school sweetheart, Mariarlene Eisel. He retired from Hydra-Matic after 35 years of service. For the next 25 years, he joined Lucas County Mutual Insurance Association as an Agent and Vice-President.

Dan was a lifelong member of the Immaculate Conception Church. He showed his devotion to his faith by becoming a Eucharistic Minister, lector, assisting at fish fry's, caring for the church, and many other church activities. He was an active member of the Holy Name Society and was secretary and treasurer of The Catholic Knights of Ohio.

He always had a huge garden that he selflessly shared with family and friends. Everyone loved his corn on the cob! He was an avid sports fan and began playing baseball and basketball in his youth. He continued to play softball after high school with his fond friends from Hydra-Matic. He put in countless hours of coaching and mentoring the youth at Marygrove. His passion for sports continued as he attended many sporting events played by his children and grandchildren. He also enjoyed many years of bowling, golfing, and playing cards with family and friends. He was a hard one to beat!

The greatest love of his life was his family. He was a devoted and selfless husband, father, and grandfather. He supported his children and grandchildren by attending a vast array of their activities with pride and love. Family gatherings were his favorite, from enjoying many memorable summer vacations together to grandpas' famous chicken barbecues! He will always be remembered by his warm loving touch and unforgettable smile! The support he gave, through his genuine love, to his family and friends will never be forgotten.
