Dan was a loving fa- ther, friend and litigation at- torney. From the small town of Wichita Falls, he had no idea what fraternity life in Pike would bring him, but enjoyed his time immensely at UT and the Pike brother- hood! Dan was a brilliant attorney and loved the law. Although he was a solo practitioner, he worked as co-counsel with some top-flight lawyers. Howev- er, the centerpiece of his life was his daughter, An- nie, who is a chemical engineering major at Roch- ester University. Twelve years ago, Dan defeated a life-threatening cancer and made a promise if he survived, he would celebrate each day of his life thereaer as a mira- cle. Against all odds, Dan survived, regained use of his leg and resurrected his law practice.
