When Daniel was just shy of his 18th birthday, he joined the Army where he served in B Company 92nd Armored Infantry, 6th Armored Division Battalion, stationed in Ft. Leonard Wood, Missouri in 1953 during the Korean War and was also in the Army reserves for 8 years.

He was a master mechanic all of his life, having worked jobs in Indianapolis and New Castle and running Humble Motor Service in the Steubenville Community with his sons. He also did some farming and welding and was really a jack of all trades.

Daniel had a love for playing music. He was an avid banjo, guitar, and fiddle player... Along with numerous other instruments he loved to play. He was always ready for a gathering of family, friends, and fellow musicians to sing, play, and have a good ole' time.

He enjoyed going "junkin'" whether at the 127-yard sales or going to Kennett's Antiques to find a good deal from Calvin.

He was a loving father, grandfather, relative, and friend who will be very much missed and never forgotten by those who loved him.
