Since moving to Hackettstown, Dan became active in the Hackettstown Historical Society and dedicated many hours to the reconstruction of the Old Hackettstown Burial Grounds where many Revolutionary soldiers are buried. An avid conversationalist, one could often find Dan at his favorite coffee shop, Greene's Bean's of Hackettstown where he would be "holding court" discussing current events and most certainly politics! During Dan's military service with the Army he developed a passion for West Point and its historical contributions to our nation which is why those wishing to give a monetary donation in lieu of flowers are asked to please consider West Point.

To Dan's Family,
I was so sad to hear that Dan passed away. I did not find out until this afternoon as Ben, from Green's Beans tried to reach me to let me know. I met Dan at his daily spot, Greens Beans. I loved hearing his stories and talking with him. Dan met my son and got to know him as well , my son has since gone into the Army and Dan always asked how he was doing. I met Dan's son Richard at Greens Beans this past spring as he had brought Dan back for coffee that day and I had the pleasure of seeing him again. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Sincerely,
Gail Karslo
