Daniel was predeceased by his wife Olga (1980), mother Magdalena (1963), father William (1966), son-in-law Raymond (2007), and all of his seven brothers and sisters. Daniel was born and raised in Winnipeg. After the Second World War he played hockey in London, England for the British National League's Greyhounds, winning the London Cup.

He coached youth hockey, bowled, curled, and was an avid fisherman. Daniel was a founding member of the Arlington Fishing Club. Over the years he shared a plethora of hockey stories and opinions with CJOB, the Winnipeg Free Press, and sports announcers in the US.

  • Grant, I remember your father from many visits to your house on Tinniswood Street. Condolences to the whole family. - Posted by: Brian Kushka (Family Friend) on: Feb 27, 2021

  • we were saddened to read of Dan's passing, our friendship grew out of love of hockey, meeting for the first time at a "hockey smokie" in Winnipeg, and from that moment our friendship was forged, he always made us laugh, he had a great sense of humour, we often related tales of his time in London UK. In those years of our friendship we would try to meet up when we visited family in Winnipeg, if this wasn't possible a phone call was the order of the day.Christmas Cards,letters and emails from Judy kept us up to date with Dan's progress, we now bid you goodbye old friend, so until next we meet don't accept any wooden nickles Dan, God Bless you. Our sincere condolences to Judy and family .
