Daniel married his high school sweetheart, Clara Webster and together they had two beautiful children. In 1989, the couple divorced, and Daniel re-married to Laurie Hazel. Laurie previously had two children who Daniel gladly accepted as his own. 

Daniel adored his children and grandchildren. He enjoyed taking them fishing, skiing and tubing. He looked forward to seeing them all together during their annual family "get-together's". He liked to go on fishing trips to Dissant and WauWau Lakes and Saginaw Bay. His most memorable trip was going to Canada to catch perch and walleye! Dan was described as having a "laid-back" personality. He liked to relax at his home while watching the Chicago Bears, documentaries, the History channel or mafia movies. He also frequently listened to "oldies" and Christian music. Most of all, Daniel was extremely proud of his children and grandchildren, he always made sure they knew that.
