He lived his entire life in Fort Frances.
Danny belonged to the Local 607 construction union out of Thunder Bay. He married Shawne (Byrnes) on Jan. 15, 1972.
Until ill health stopped him from going for coffee with his friends, you could find him at the A&W and Tim Hortons, catching up with the news concerning the town. He also was a Lakers’ hockey fan.
Dan had to stop hunting and fishing and going to the cabin at Bad Vermilion in Mine Centre. He truly loved the outdoors.
He had many special friends and he always said he had met many wonderful, good people.
