He will be sadly missed by everyone that knew him. Dan did many things in his life. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and all sports. Dan, one of fourteen children, grew up on a farm in the Amaranth/Langruth area. He commercial fished on Lake Manitoba, cut pulpwood and mined in Ontario, cleared land with a bulldozer and eventually worked a number of years as a diesel mechanic at BACM. After retiring, he helped many friends, neighbours and family with different jobs until health problems kicked in. Dan was predeceased by Edith, his loving wife of 56 years. They spent their first years of marriage living in a trailer in Winnipegosis and eventually moved into their new house which Dan oversaw being built. Dan is survived by his sister Margaret, his special niece Janice, and many other nieces and nephews. A special thank you and lots of love is sent to his wonderful friends Trevor and Jorn Lane for their help and kindness through the years.

I am so grateful I had the opportunity, when Janice took me to meet Uncle Dan in Aug 2014. We all had a wonderful day together. This was one of the highlights of my trip and will always be memorable. - Posted by: Karen Biffen (Friend of the Family) on: Oct 21, 2014

Uncle Dan always had a story about life on the farm, or some hunting trip that made feel as though I was there. His humor was clean and never demeaning. I will always remember the look of joy in his eyes as I played "You Are My Sunshine" for him on the guitar. Truly, a man among men. I am grateful for your presence in my life, however distant. - Posted by: Harold Anderson (Nephew) on: Oct 21, 2014

I met Uncle Dan through Janice O'Leary. What a gentle man. So kind-hearted. We played crib and I enjoyed his stories very much. He showed me the house and yard and spoke very kindly of his neighbours, the Lane's. Then Janice pointed out that we share the same birthday, April 5th. We had a good time with that. I returned to Kelowna, BC. I called Uncle Dan the following year on his birthday. We joked that it was a good date to be born and he wished me a Happy Birthday. Thank you Janice for sharing your Uncle Dan with me. He was a true gentleman and will be fondly remembered and sadly missed. - Posted by: Joanne McCarthy (Friend (met Uncle Dan through sister friend Janice O'Leary)) on: Oct 20, 2014

My family grew up across the street from Dan and Edith as well as my Aunt, Uncle and cousin who lived next door. Our families couldn't have asked or dreamed of a better couple to have in the neighbourhood. They were both the most caring and fun people you could ever meet. After my Dad passed away Dan would clear snow for my mother for which our entire family was forever in debt as it allowed her to remain in her home. We'll miss the both of them but are so grateful to have them a part of our families!!! - Posted by: Dave Sesak (Neigbour) on: Oct 20, 2014
