He spent nearly 40 years in sales and management for Maritz Inc., where he built a successful career grounded in hard work, integrity and genuine connections with people.
Dan was a beloved member of Holy Redeemer Parish in Webster Groves for more than 50 years, where he was known for his deep faith, incredible sense of humor, countless friendships, and his tireless willingness to serve. Whether lending a hand or leading a project, he was always willing to help out. He leaves behind more friends than a man can count.
