He was happily married to her until her passing on July 28, 2021. “Dan” loved his family so much and spent countless hours talking to them via telephone. He enjoyed watching his beloved Denver Broncos play and had a collection of their memorabilia. His children and his grandchildren were truly his pride and joy as he loved to talk about their accomplishments. Dan loved to go to his grandchildren’s activities and games and was always the loudest in the crowd.
