Dan co-owned a machine shop, Tri-State Machine, for 20 years. He then spent time as a sales representative for various steel companies, lastly Kivort Steel. He most enjoyed boating on Lake George and spending time at his seasonal campsite. Throughout his entire life Dan made so many friends along the way, due to his outgoing personality, quick wit and kind heart.
