Dan owned his own Brick Works Masonry business after learning the trade from his father, then passed those skills off to his sons, he took great pride and mastered his craft.  Dan also worked in the oil fields for Schlumberger and again passed that trade to his sons. Dan had a special spot for his daughters, often daddy daughter dates.  Attending concerts with his kids.  He was proud to share the story that he delivered his daughter in his big blue truck.
