Dan was a skilled conversationalist and loved to debate on wide ranging subjects from religion to politics.  He was the family Genealogist and traced the family lines back many generations. He was an avid collector of the eclectic and also enjoyed traveling to see family and friends. Dan was a one-of-kind individual who will be missed by all who knew and loved him.

Dan is survived by his siblings, Hank (Judy) Fulton, Leslie Weatherly, Robert Fulton (Kathy), Anita (Michael) Freeman, and Lisa (Rick) Gaylor.  Dan also leaves behind to cherish his memory a host of grandchildren, nieces, nephews, friends, and extended family.
