Dan worked for the bakeries through the unions and was able to retire early but he continued to work. He became a Maintenance man for UNMC and finally retired in 14'. Danny's retirement years were spent with family and friends. He enjoys fishing, boating, and hunting. Danny's life was filled with laughter and love!
