Dan graduated from Jay High School in 1968 and was a 1972 graduate of the University of Portland/Gorham.

He was best known for serving as Postmaster in Wayne, Livermore Falls and Jay. Dan also enjoyed serving on the Board of Directors of OTIS Federal Credit Union in Jay for many years.
The most important thing in Dan’s life was his family. Some of his favorite times were spent at the family camp on Horseshoe Pond in Chesterville (affectionately referred to “Mancine Point”), where Dan enjoyed creating a trail system for his grandchildren (including routes named for each of them), helping to host family gatherings, and spending quiet time on the porch.
