While going to school he worked at Frank’s Auto Service on Nepperhan Ave in Yonkers with his father and uncle doing auto body work where he developed his love for cars, especially Corvettes. Dan was a sports fan who loved the NY Yankees and coaching his kids in basketball and softball. Dan was also an avid weightlifter, golfer, and movie buff and enjoyed spending time at their vacation home in Fort Myers, Florida. He was a licensed private investigator and worked as an insurance adjuster for Compass Investigators & Adjusters for over 35 years. More than anything he was a loving husband, father and ‘papa’. Dan was married to his beloved wife, Christine (Dragoni) for over 40 years. Together they raised their 3 children, Nicole (Joseph) Collins of Thiells, Dana (Philip) Oliveri of White Plains and Daniel Serino, III of North Bethesda, MD.
