He is also survived by the many people he came in contact over his journey of life: Working at DeGigido's Restaurant on West 7th Street in St Paul, working at Bakers Square in St Paul, driving a School Bus with rowdy kids that he always enjoyed bantering with, working with the accounting for the Baseball Teams of West St Paul.

All are welcome to attend and celebrate Dana's life. Dana enjoyed life to the fullest. He was an excellent sportsman both in his physical abilities and his extensive knowledge of football, baseball, hockey, etc. He could pick up any sport within a matter of hours, and was one of the top Squash players in America in the early 1970s. He always tried to do what was best for everyone, and was always interested in other people. He would learn something from every conversation he had with anyone, including total strangers. It is with great sadness that we will pay our final respects to Dana, he may be missing from our family get togethers, he will never be missing from our hearts.
