Dan worked as a pipeliner for many years which enabled him to travel all over the world. He was an avid outdoors man, who enjoyed tending to his farm and cows, working his hay fields, and operating his bulldozer. Dan was gifted mechanically, a gift he used in his career and in rebuilding Ford Mustangs. He was very social and enjoyed going out to eat with his family and friends. Dan was a jack of all trades and had many things he enjoyed in life, but his truest passion was his family.
