In October, he lost his wife of 65 years, Minnie Belle Morton Daniel, after her primary caregiver for four years. A Methodist, he was a member of Avery’s Chapel Church.

He loved any activity that included using his hands---gardening, hunting, fishing, tinkering, and playing dominoes. He had an impressive memory and extensive knowledge of the McCaskill and Hempstead County areas and enjoyed talking about the old days. Talented at restoring and driving antique A and T Model Fords, he often received requests from other owners to solve mechanical problems. In his later years, he was entertained by visiting and drinking coffee with good friends at Road Mart.
