We are very saddened to announce the peaceful passing of Dan at the Lakeview Pioneer Lodge in Wakaw, at the age of 80 years. Dad was born and raised on the farm, a place his heart would always belong. Dad met and married Elizabeth Poth of Yellow Creek, in October of 1955. They lived on the family farm where they raised three daughters. Over time, their family expanded to three sons-in-law, seven grandchildren and one great grandchild. Next to his wife and family, Dad’s second greatest love was “Domremy Beach” on Wakaw Lake. There were spent many wonderful years, building many friendships and creating many wonderful memories including great fried chicken, horseshoe tournaments and fish derbies. Dad had many talents, from building their house in Wakaw to making the most intricate horse and buggy (with mother’s help of course). He was an active member of the Lion’s Club, the Hungarian Club, Club 99 and the church choir. Dad had many health obstacles throughout his lifetime. As a young man, he coped with asthma yet continued to farm. 20 years ago, dad had his first of three hip surgeries which ailed him to his dying day. In August of 2011 Dad’s suffered a major heart attack which proved to be his greatest obstacle. This strong willed, determined man fought to live and with the undying love and devotion of his wife, he lived for two more years. But now, the time came to say good-bye. Dad was too tired to fight. With our blessings, he went peacefully to a better place. Till we meet again.....We Love You!
