Dan worked for the U.S. Department of Defense for over 30 years and received many commendations. In his spare time, Dan was an artist, an author, and an inventor. But most importantly, Dan was a true Irishman. Wherever he went, shenanigans followed! He loved to make people laugh. In his memory, make someone laugh or smile today. Make the world a better place each day by your kindness and smile. “Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a message no one can steal” (Irish blessing).
