Shortly after buying Woodside Veterinary Hospital Dan was in a hunting accident leaving him a paraplegic. His devotion to small animals of every kind overcame his physical challenges which allowed him to practice for many more years. I’m sure his clients will attest that if you met Dr. Dan you’d never forgot him, he’d be sure of that.After 20 plus years of going to the office he decided to retire…  which just meant bringing the work to his home. He turned his basement into a small operating room and his Morton building into a clinic. He wasn’t much for idle time.Dan had more hobbies than he had time or money. He was an avid woodworker, welder, gardener, fisherman, hunter, train and plane collector and a tech toy junkie.He won awards in rifle shooting competitions. He Played wheelchair tennis in his younger days. He could have won an Oscar for inappropriate jokes. His latest discipline report from the nursing home was running his robot into the cafeteria and making all the residents laugh. That’s just who he was. He wanted everyone to know that despite his wheelchair he left no stone unturned and lived his life to the fullest.A private family celebration of life will be held in lieu of services. We encourage all donations and love go to the Humane Society.
