His professional career spanned many industries including entertainment, professional sports, computer security, and payroll. He worked at the Milwaukee Brewers for 15 years and Stratus Computer Security among other positions.
Dan's greatest calling was that of uncle. He found great joy in his extended family, keeping tabs on them with weekly phone calls which often began, "Hello there..." or "This is your Uncle Dan..." One knew very quickly where the conversation was heading depending on the opening line. His calls from the North Pole and beautiful tenor voice singing to them on their birthdays will be greatly missed. Dan never met a stranger and loved recounting stories from the past with great detail and fanfare. He was an avid Wisconsin sports enthusiast, cheering on the University of Wisconsin, The Green Bay Packers and the Milwaukee Brewers. He loved playing golf and catching up with lifelong friends over dinner. He will be remembered for his kindness, generosity and love.
