Daniel died Aug. 5 in Sitka, at the age of 88.
He was born July 25, 1936, in Ontario, Canada, the son of Joseph and Elia (Delaney) Kilkeary. When he was 4 the family moved to Hoboken, New Jersey, and he became a U.S. citizen when he was 9.
He entered the U.S. Air Force in 1955, and served in the South Pacific then stateside.
He left the service in 1959, and settled in Brooklyn, New York, where he worked for some 25 years in real estate then opened his own moving business.
One of his pleasures over the years was watching sports – early on he was a fan of Joe Namath and the New York Jets, the New York Yankees and the New York Rangers.
He moved to Sitka from Brooklyn in February 2022.
