Dan worked at Safety Kleen in Portland, CT for 20+ years.  Dan was an avid boater and enjoyed cruising Lake Pocotopaug on the “PEP”.  He enjoyed camping on Lake George with his good friends Pam & Gary Greenwald.  Although Dan was new to the community, he was always willing to lend a hand (while sporting his crazy hats) and was an active member of Old Home Days and was co-chair of the annual parade.  He was also an active member of Friends of the Lake Pocotopaug and was a member of CERT. He participated in the most recent Turkey Plunge and was loved by many in the community.  He enjoyed socializing with friends, music and dancing with Cap.  

Dan is also survived by his sister Patricia Turner and her husband, Michael Turner of Cromwell, CT, and his nephew, David Turner and his fiancé, Kayla Seltzer, of Cromwell, CT.  He is also survived by his sister-in-law, Vanessa Rourke of East Hampton, CT, his niece Ashley Turner and her fiancé, Travis Wolf and his great-nephew and best little buddy, Hunter Turner of Marlborough, CT, and also his sister-in-law Linda Lannan of Wallingford, CT, his niece Morgan Lannan of Wallingford, CT, and her boyfriend Peter Kovach of Hamden, CT, nephew Scott Lannan and wife Kelly Lannan of Seymour, CT and their son, his great-nephew, Dublin Lannan.
