He accepted the position from a former member at the age of 10. A people person, he liked hanging out with his friends, enjoying a cold beer and often helped bartend at local weddings. Some of his free time was spent helping mom in the garden, squirrel and coon hunting, watching Matlock, Andy Griffith and Home Improvement or listening to the Red’s games. A T-bone steak on his birthday was a long standing tradition and his family spoke of his love for homemade chocolate chip cookies and that he peppered just about everything he ate. They also indicated a lot of people are going to miss his grits. 4 or 5 times a year, Dan would make a large batch and had a list of people he would deliver to until he ran out. When he made his next batch, he started up where he had last stopped on the list.
