Daniel was a veteran of the United States Army and a proudly enrolled member of the great Seneca Nation. He was known as a “doo-wop” radio DJ in the 1960’s. His career would span the rock and roll era and even includes time in the restaurant business at a place called Big Boppers. You may have heard him sing with The Showvinistics or played against him in softball. Danny sang with the Showvinistics, one of Rochester’s most popular acappella groups, for three decades. He was a lifelong Rochester Red Wings fan and board member and was a dedicated emcee for numerous events, including Holy Childhood, The Press-Radio Club and live music performances.
