Dan was born in Clintonville on November 7, 1947, son of the late Ervin “Pete” and Ethel (Dilley) Peters. He was a graduate of the Clintonville High School, and shortly thereafter, joined the United States Air Force where he served as a mechanic. On September 26, 1970, he married Patti Trice in Royalton. Together, the couple enjoyed forty-seven years together.

His Air Force training landed Dan a job with Air Wisconsin in September of 1969, and he was employed by Air Wisconsin until his retirement in 2006. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and watching his favorite football team - The Green Bay Packers. He loved jazz music, and of course, airplanes.
