Daniel's obituary

Dan died on February 23, 2018. Born in Lexington, KY, Dan was the youngest child of Bert Shaffer MD and Inki Shaffer MD. Dan graduated from the US Naval Academy in 1987 with honors, 32nd in his class. He served five years in the Nuclear Submarine Service as a Lieutenant. Later he provided road assistance and transportation services to grateful motorists and travelers. He married the love of his life, Sally Montgomery, in February 2006. Dan leaves behind two children, six siblings, two nephews, a niece and many friends. He was brilliant, funny, loving, curious, supportive, kind, affectionate and joyous. A proud "fur father" of rescue cats, he adored travels with Sally, family visits, sports, puzzles, bowling, museums, reading and cars. Dan was a true US patriot and loyal lifelong Navy man, whose unfailing refrain was - and will always be - "Go Navy, Beat Army!"
