      He served in the United States Army, and following his discharge, he returned to the area and opened up Dan’s Drive where he hired his soon to be wife, Ellen. Dan married Ellen Meyer on June 19, 1965 at St. Mary Catholic Church in Stockbridge.

Dan was also a retired member of the Stockbridge Fire Department and the Stockbridge Harbor Fishing Club.

      Dan enjoyed time spent on Lake Winnebago, especially during the annual Sturgeon Spearing Season. He was known to be an excellent party planner, especially when it came to crafting surprise birthday parties for those he loved. Above all else, the loving man cherished his children and all that they have accomplished in their lives. He loved each and every one of his children and grandchildren dearly.

      Survivors include his wife, Ellen, his children: John (Dawn) Hammen, Ted Hammen, Randy (Amy) Hammen, Steve (Jodi) Hammen, Jayna (Andy) Shene; his grandchildren: Bryce, Jack, Bella, Morgan & Mason; and his brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law: Wayne (Ginny) Meyer, Marilyn (Lyle) Levknecht, Pat Parsons, Carol Wolf & her friend, Jim, and Judy Meyer & her friend, Bob. He is further survived by nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
