He was a member of St. Dominic Catholic Church in Breese, Breese Knights of Columbus Council 2869, and the IBEW Local 309.

     

    Daniel thoroughly enjoyed watching baseball, especially his children’s and grandchildren’s games, the St. Louis Cardinals, Breese Merchants, and Mater Dei High School. He also enjoyed cooking at home and at the Knights of Columbus Hall, where he prepared hundreds of dinners for weddings, Mater Dei High School banquets, and other special events, and was always known as the “chief cook” at the annual “Slugger Slam” golf tournament that supported All Saints Academy. Above all, Daniel’s greatest love was his wife and family.
