He married the love of his life Mary "Mary Lou" Louise McDonald on October 1st 1955 at the St. Ephrem’s Church in Brooklyn, New York. Together they had three children; two daughters and one son.
Dan and Mary Lou lived with their three children in New Milford and Allendale, N.J., and spent many holidays with family and friends at their home in Manchester, Vt., eventually making Vermont their permanent home in 1994.
Throughout his life, Dan worked as a Project Engineer, an Architect and Vice President of Development for the Grand Union Company.
His love of coaching basketball, between CYO and high school, consisted of teaching the game, but more of teaching the lifelong lessons of character, commitment and teamwork. His hobbies included collecting stamps, coins, art, and baseball and football autographs. His true passion, however, was the design and construction of train sets. He was a lifelong NY Giants fan and lover of jazz and swing music.
