Born in Troy, New York on April 28, 1948. Dan was a compassionate individual who touched the lives of all who knew him, always ready to share his contagious smile, sympathetic ear and/or a good book. He was a very spiritual person and was ordained a Deacon of the Catholic Church where he served for many years. In his later years, Dan led a faith driven life built upon recognizing the beauty and goodness in all things. He found great joy in music, deep conversations on spirituality and growth, and nearness to those he loved.
