Dan served his country in the US Army and was stationed in Korea during the Vietnam War for six years. He then began his career as a quality control inspector and had a long career at Lockheed Martin.
Before becoming ill, Dan enjoyed golfing, working in the yard, and going to concerts. His favorite things to do were traveling to the beach with his wife, watching his beloved Texas Longhorns football, and spending time with his constant four-legged companion, Sandi.
