Dan was an avid golfer and loved fishing. He was known for hosting fish fries and sharing his catches with friends and family. He also loved mushroom hunting, classic cars (especially Corvettes), The Beach Boys, and vegetable gardening. He enjoyed sharing his harvests with family and his special friends at La-Z Acres Campground.

He was also known as “Uncle Danny” to numerous nieces and nephews, and “old man Dan” to many, many friends.

Besides his parents, Dan was preceded in death by his wife of 36 years, Barbara (Hamm) Ault; brother, Frank (Betty) Ault; sister Pearl (Don) Wise; and brother Larry Ault.
