Daniel "Miki" John Riordan Jr.

Daniel was born in Pelham, NH on August 6, 1937. He graduated from Central Catholic High School and served in the US Navy. He married Loretta Bolitsky on August 5, 1962 at St. Laurence's Catholic Church in Lawrence, MA. He worked as a plumber/pipe fitter at Raytheon for 30 years. Dan was an avid golfer and spent many years at Merrimack Golf Course. He enjoyed skiing. He was a member of the Elks for 48 years and enjoyed visiting many locations around the states.

Daniel was very proud of his Irish Heritage. In his later years, Miki made Mesa, AZ his home. Among his favorite activities were singing and dancing at Karaoke Club and the countless porch parties where he made so many great new friends. He absolutely loved basking in the beautiful AZ sunshine. Dan and Loretta celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary in August 2022.
