Passed away peacefully on Wednesday, February 4, at home, surrounded by his loving family.

Dan is predeceased by his father, Anthony Merola, and his great nephews, Knox and Nash Mrozek.

He will also be deeply missed by his dear friends, Frank Diponzio and Kevin Degnan.

Dan loved visiting the Florida coast with his wife and children and cherished time spent hunting and fishing with his kids. He was a hardworking man who owned his own pool company and took pride in building a family business where everyone could work together. Dan was not only a devoted and happy father, but he found even greater joy in being a papa to his grandchildren. Most of all, he will be remembered for his deep love, devotion, and kindness toward his family and friends.
