Dan was a lifelong member of the St. James the Less Catholic Church in St. Paul, Iowa, where he sang in the church choir, served on the Parish Council, God’s Acre Sale Committee, and St. James Church Restoration Committee. He also was a member of the Houghton Knights of Columbus. He was a graduate of the former Marquette High School. He worked at Merschman Seeds Incorporated as a warehouse manager for thirty-five years. Dan was a man of few words but never short on love. He loved spending time with his family and friends, especially his beloved grandchildren. He enjoyed boating and spending time in his "happy place", the cabin. Dan was everyone's handy-man, there wasn't a job he didn't try to fix. He was a very involved parishioner of the St. James Parish and very proud of his role in the St. James Choir. He was very dedicated to his family and community and will be missed by all.
