He was a graduate of Cal State Hayward and St. Mary’s High School in Stockton. Dan owned his own pool cleaning business for many years and was known as “Dan the Poolman” to his clients and friends. Like a true SoCal native, you could find Dan heading out to work in his shorts and straw hat. Dan was kind hearted, generous and a mentor to many. The family would like to thank the caring doctors and nurses of Los Alamitos Oncology Group and the Long Beach Memorial Todd Cancer Center. Dan will be greatly missed but never forgotten.
