Daniel was a graduate of Bristol High School. He worked as a truck driver for J.T. Lumber for 20 years before retiring.

Daniel loved classic cars and car shows. He took particular pride in restoring his 1967 Chevelle, spending countless hours working alongside his children and his best friend, John Brando, to bring the car back to life. He enjoyed driving the Chevelle and taking it to car shows, where he shared his appreciation for classic automobiles with others. Above all, Daniel cherished the time he spent with his grandchildren. He also loved dogs and, over the years, gave several rescue dogs a loving home.

Family and friends are invited to attend a Mass of Christian Burial on Saturday, October 3, 10 AM at St. Elizabeth’s Church, 577 Wood Street. Burial will follow in North Burial Ground.
