Dan was always a fun loving man. He loved being a grandfather most of all. Our father was known by many people and they said he was the nicest person they ever knew. He will be truly missed by all.
He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Rose; brothers, Charles, Vito (Billy) and sister, Mary.
Dan is survived by his four children, Bea (Chris) Maxfield, Dan (Huyen) LaBella, Tony (Gail Holmstrom) LaBella and Gina (Ike McNeil) LaBella.
