Beloved father of Josh, Jake and Hannah, dear friend of Lauren.

Dan was born in Oshawa and spent most of his childhood growing up in Etobicoke. He attended Kipling Collegiate High School where he was a track athlete and a wrestling star. Dan was a talented and passionate piano player and he loved nothing more than sitting for hours playing and learning new songs by ear. Dan earned a B.A. and an M.B.A. from York University and took those degrees, along with his innate ability to connect with people, to the pharmaceutical industry. He had an illustrious career which culminated in a position as the Director of Sales and Marketing for Solvay Pharmaceuticals.

We will all miss his wit, his kindness and his compassion for people especially for those who were less fortunate than him. No matter what life threw at Dan he was able to pick himself back up and carry on right up until the end when one more obstacle simply proved too much for him to overcome. His children were his world and he was so very proud of each of them. Josh, Jake, Hannah and his many friends will hold his memory dear to their hearts.

Please join us in celebrating Dan's life on Wednesday, November 22 and Thursday, November 23.

We also know that Dan would love it if the next time you see a homeless person on the street you stop, say a few kind words, perhaps bring them a cup of coffee or a slice of pizza and give them some money to directly help someone so desparately in need.
