His family offers these tributes:
"Dad spent a lot of time with me on the golf course, and always equated golf to life lessons; be
honorable and count every stroke, be ethical and call any infraction of the rules on yourself, be kind and
respectful to the course and to those you play with, and never give up - grind out pars even when you
hit a couple bad shots. These lessons have served me well throughout my life." - John
"He challenged us to be the best we could be at everything. From hitting a curveball, to running a mile, to
raising our kids, he pushed us to do our best at what we wanted to do. He didn't push us to be what he
wanted us to be. We wanted to succeed for him as much as our selves." - Dave
He was preceded in death by all of his brothers and sisters and his parents.
He is survived by his loving wife Mary, children, David Arthur Daniels Jr. (Cecelia), Debborah Anne Hayes (John), Richard James (Frances), and John, Harold (Margaret).
