He is survived by daughters, Catherine, (Warren, PA) and Christa Quashnock (State College, PA), brothers Kevin Quashnock, (Shippenville, PA) and Shane Thomas (Hazen, PA) and sister Mary Harmon (Reynoldsville, PA). Daniel very much enjoyed hunting, cooking over an open fire, playing poker online with his friends, and enjoying several professional league sports. He was always helping someone, somehow. He donated much of his free time to his daughters, close friends, and visiting nursing homes as an emotional support human to his best friend, Boo. And he was one damn fine American.
