A member of Our Mother of Perpetual Help Catholic Church, he was a 1949 graduate of North Catholic High School, Philadelphia, and served in the Naval Reserves from 1949 to 1953. Dan was a yardmaster for Reading-Conrail Railroads and remained in close contact with his railroad co-workers. He was an avid fisherman and enjoyed horseshoes.

Surviving, in addition to his wife, are daughters: Mary Ann, married to Thomas Bresch, Atlanta, Ga.; Patricia, married to Tim Martin, Voorhees, N.J.; and Bernadette, married to Michael D’Alessandro, Blackwood, N.J.; sons: Daniel F. Dwyer, III, Greenwood, Del.; and Timothy J., marred to Helen Dwyer, Ephrata; 11 grandchildren; and 15 great-grandchildren.

Four sisters predeceased him.

Services were held April 18 at Our Mother of Perpetual Help Church, Ephrata, with Father Thomas Siconolfi, CSSR, as celebrant.
