Dan began a successful career in Connecticut with his ironwork company, Union City Steel. He was a member of Ironworkers Local 15 in Hartford, CT.
Dan loved his family and friends as well as boats, Corvettes, collecting antique guns, football (the Dallas Cowboys) and enjoying a beer at one of his favorite hangouts with friends. He lived in CT, TX, CO and back in NY. He loved a road trip and explored almost every state, always making friends along the way.
There will be a celebration of life at St Ann’s Community Chapel at 1500 Portland Ave. in Rochester, NY on July 13th at 11:00 AM.
In lieu of flowers, Dan would love prayers for the Dallas Cowboys to win the 2025 Super Bowl. He certainly said enough of them during his life.

Hello Sheral and family. I am very sorry to learn of Dan’s passing. When I heard the news there was an immediate flash back to our earlier years when he and I attended our birthday celebrations and we would have playtime together when our mothers, who were friends, got us together; the good old days. I’m sorry we never got together when we lived in CT or later in life. Our prayers and sympathies are with you.
Very sorry we can not attend Dan’s Celebration of Life on Saturday but we are there in spirit.
Regards.
John and Mary Ann Nelson
