The family moved to Carlisle, Ohio in 1971 where Dan attended school, settled down, and worked many years. A shade tree mechanic from his early teens, more often than not you would find dan in the garage - under the hood of a hot rod. He would spend countless hours bringing these cars back to life. Each and every time came the sweet smile of satisfaction when the hood closed, the key in the ignition turned, and the engine purred. Dan was a simple man who enjoyed the little things in life. His dying wish was to ride in a 1930 biplane piloted by Dewey Davenport. Dan took this flight on Monday, august 21, 2023. The following day, Tuesday, august 22, over 400 classic cars and 200 motorcycles participated in a drive-thru car show for Dan at his residence in Carlisle. His send off to Heaven was felt, heard, and smelled for miles. Dan is survived by his wife of 25 years, Deborah Mackey; mother Ina (Fleming) Richardson; daughter Erica (Brad) Fitzgerald; sisters Dema (Mark) Faulkner and Mary Brewer; granddaughters Layla, Kimber, and Everly; and nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.
