Dan will be forever remembered by his friends and family for his contagious laugh, quick wit, and kind demeanor. He was the life of the party virtually everywhere he went and he was a beacon of positivity for those who were lucky enough to spend time with him.
He was my godfather and I am grateful for his positive influence on my life. He and Joyce supported us during incredibly challenging times, and I can’t say thank you enough for the wisdom and guidance he shared with me as a young child through adolescence. He was an ideal role model for what a father, husband, and friend should be—steadfast, honest, and kind. He loved his family deeply and was so proud of his children and his grandchildren. His face always lit up whenever he talked about them, and they were the focus of his entire world. He was truly one of a kind, and I feel so fortunate for the time God gave us with him.
I will miss his laugh, his presence in the room at family gatherings, and his knack for a well-timed joke and casual conversation. I’d like to believe that there are many people waiting for him on the other side, especially the Klostermann family members who passed before him. As Danny always said, “If you marry one, you marry them all!”, and I hope he is now discovering just how true that statement really was and still is.
Thank you for your time and patience, but most of all, thank you for the laughter, Danny.
Requiescat in pace.
