“Always an avid golfer, Dan was a member of The United States Seniors’ Golf Association and clubs in Vermont and New Jersey. The one tournament he remembered fondly, was winning low net with his son in a father-son event on Long Island.

“We don’t recall seeing him on the sand or in the water at Sea Bright Beach Club, but we won’t ever forget how he loved his dogs, and never tired of walking them, day or night, rain or shine …

“It is fitting to say that, besides his family and golf, Dan loved to work. It started with a job in his mid-teens when he would ride his bike from his home on Blossom Cove Road in Middletown to the Blaisdell Lumber Company in Red Bank. Other jobs followed, including a stint on a Norwegian freighter. After college, he spent several years in the textile industry, the majority with J. P. Steven’s & Co., in New York. Switching gears, he then joined the investment business, also in New York, but eventually tiring of the daily commute, he relocated to Red Bank with RBC Wealth Management as a vice president/financial advisor, where he remained until his retirement.”
