Daniel loved life, his family & people. There were many family vacations to amusement parks; mainly to ride roller coasters. He loved to go for long rides in the car “just because!”
Boating, fishing for halibut and salmon, waterskiing, camping were all sources of enjoyment and happiness for him. Just getting together with family and having potlucks and chatting, lots of chatting.

Daniel had been a Christian for most of his life, but one of his happiest moments was when the whole family was baptized together on May 21, 1995. He was so proud.
