Daniel was active in his children and grandchildren’s lives rarely missing a game, a school program or Scouting event. He enjoyed Scout camp with his sons, be it a weekend campout or extended summer camp. He joined his boys and the troop on field trips and outings. Daniel served in many positions with his sons’ Scout troop, always encouraging his sons and members of the troop on their path to Eagle. Both Matthew and Jeffrey completed that path and became Eagle Scouts. Years later, Daniel continued his love of Scouting when he attended camp with his grandson, Ethan. |
