Dan loved his family, golf, the theater, and the University of Illinois. As a master joke teller he never knew a stranger and loved making people laugh. Always the entertainer, he thoroughly enjoyed his time performing with the Quincy Community Theater. His loyalty ran deep as he never swayed from rooting for University of Illinois everything through good times and bad.
