Dan had a strong adoration for kids, sports, and cooking. He spent much of his time making large family dinners, watching sports with his brother, Jimmy, sharing his love for wrestling with his brother, Mikey, paling around with his sidekick and granddaughter, Imajin, to whom he was a strong, consistent male role model to, building large bon fires with his best friend, Don, enjoying long talks with Jackie, and watching movies, camping, and road trips with his wife. Dan is predeceased by his grandmothers, Alice Prosser and Adeline Packard, grandfathers, Leslie Prosser and Wilmont Packard, three uncles, Pete and Stewart Prosser, and William Packard, an aunt, Debbie Prosser, and good friend, Barry Raymond.
