A man full of life and laughter, died suddenly and unexpectedly on December 17 at age 79. He was a man devoted to his family, wife of 58 years, Bonnie; son, David (died September 26, 2020); son, Douglas (Irene); daughter, Susan (Jesse) Howard; grandchildren, Lauren and Adam; sister, Karen Raker; dear friend, Henry Matheis. His extended family includes countless cherished friends, his faith communities, and colleagues of Kodak and Heritage Christian Services.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date when it is safe for us all to come together. Dan loved participating in a variety of sports, singing with his church choir, boating on Keuka Lake and sharing stories with his friends and family. With integrity and respect he was a faithful advocate for the needs of others. He was known as the helpful neighbor, Mr. Fix It. Meeting with his Kodak retiree friends to share exaggerated stories was a monthly highlight. He held bragging rites about his children and grandchildren. He enjoyed traveling to be with family and friends and sharing detailed stories and photos.
