After the war, Dan married Louise “Mickey” Lagozzino, his wife of 62 years. He had a very successful career as an automobile salesman at SL Savidge, Huling Brothers, and Budget, retiring after 44 years. Dan loved sports, and was an avid golfer. He and Mickey traveled the world extensively in their retirement years, and enjoyed many rounds of golf.

Predeceased by his wife Mickey, Dan is survived by his son Daniel (Suzi Fossos) and grandchildren Terra M. and Danica M. Truman, and son David (Elizabeth), grandchildren, Patricia and Corin McDonald (Adrianne Moore), and three great-grandchildren, Xahil McDonald, Maggie Moore and Oscar McDonald-Moore.
