Daniel passed away peacefully at North York General Hospital on Thursday, May 17, 2018. He was predeceased by his wife, Phyllis and his siblings Denise and George. He is remembered by his sons Gary (Cathy) and Geoffrey (Martha), his grandchildren Jason, Sarah, Andrea and Bradley, and siblings Edmund and Gloria.

He was a loving husband, father, grandfather and friend who was widely admired as an intelligent, kind and young-at-heart man always willing to lend a hand to anyone in need.

Daniel was born in Montreal and graduated from Concordia with a degree in chemistry. He met Phyllis at a summer camp, and they were married in 1948. He worked for many years in the oil and gas industry in Montreal and Oakville.

Following the passing of his wife, he moved to Claridges Condos and quickly became an integral part of the community, making many dear friends and becoming the president of the condo board.

Many relaxing days were spent at the family cottage in Haliburton, where Dan was also very involved in the arts scene, as he became a highly regarded art appraiser in his retirement.
