Dan was predeceased by his loving wife of 62 years, Violet (née Mantz) in 2010. Dan was born on July 15, 1918 to parents, George and Maria (née Tilleman) Enslen and grew up on the family farm in SW Saskatchewan with nine brothers and sisters.
He and Vi were active in Altadore Baptist Church for over 50 years where they had many life-long friends. Everyone liked Dan with his sunny disposition and great sense of humour, touching the hearts of many everywhere he went. He lived a long, fulfilling life and will be dearly missed.
Dan is survived by daughter Judy and son Peter (Elnor), grandchildren Joshua, Jeffrey (Rosana) and Robyn (Nazio) and sister Alice Sackman.
The family wishes to thank all the staff at Newport Harbour Care Centre who took care of Dan these last 18 months.
We would also like to acknowledge all the help and support Dan has received from Veterans Affairs Canada.
