Dan was 62 in July. He grew up in Seattle. Went to Assumption Catholic Parish and graduated from
Seattle Prep in 1964. Dan Graduated from Seattle University undergrad and Gonzaga Law School and
University of Washington MBA program. Dan flew with PAN AM while in school.
Dan was a highly decorated Army Helicopter Pilot serving his nation proudly in Vietnam flying many
missions and receiving the Bronze and Silver Stars, two Purple Hearts and three Distinguished Flying
Crosses (some two dozen medals in all, having been shot down three or four times).
In the spring of 1975 he joined Dean Witter & Co. Over the past few years Dan was not without his
health and medical issues but most recently was battling back and was hopeful and optimistic about
the future. He was so delighted and proud to give his daughter Kai away to her new husband and
childhood sweetheart Eric Bond this past August 4th and to see his son Michael graduate from College
this past spring and seeing his son Danny being accepted into a special music program at Western
WA. Univ. and for Malia working and moving forward with her Associates Degree at Bellevue College.
Dan and I were high school classmates, but made our way to Army Aviation independently.
