After marrying Barbara, he pursued his passion and went back to University in St. Louis Mo., to graduate in Dentistry. Dan moved to Calgary Alberta, Canada to open his practice. He lived in Calgary for 45 years, and still called it home. Dan was a skilled, generous, and even inventive Dentist. He has been missed terribly by both his staff, and patients since he retired. Dan treasured every single day of his life and lit up a room. Every single day he spread his joy to others, and always hummed happy tunes as he carried on with his day. He was very social and stayed in touch with his many, many friends. Dan was an example of pure service, never having a conversation in which he didn’t ask what he could do for you. Dan loved his time in South Africa and talked about it often. His family was his top priority, and he made that very clear with his exemplary love and care of his wife, children and grandchildren.
