Daniel was a graduate of Monaca High School’s class of 1976 and was the co-captain of the 1975 WPIAL Championship Football Team, a role that foreshadowed his lifelong passion for sports. His career began at Rentokil Pest Control, where he earned the nickname “Bugman,” a name that stuck with him through his subsequent positions at Horsehead Inc. as a furnace operator attendant, with the labor union at the Shell Oil’s ‘cracker’ plant, and finally at Hussey Copper in the storeroom.

Daniel’s commitment to his community shone through with his love of sports as he coached the Mighty Mites and Midget Football teams and the Turners’ Little League Baseball Team, leading them to six consecutive championships. His leadership on and off the field was recognized by his membership in the Monaca Quarterback Club, Laborers’ Union #833, and the former Steelworkers Union.

He was an avid Michigan State University Football fan and his enthusiasm for sports was matched by his love for the outdoors. Deer hunting and fishing were among his favorite pastimes, offering him moments of tranquility and a connection to nature that he deeply treasured.
