A memorial service is scheduled for 11 AM on Saturday, April 17, 2010 at the Church of the Good Shepherd & St. John the Evangelist, 5th & Catherine Street, Milford, PA., 18337, (570)-296-8123, (www.goodshepherdmilford.org).
Daniel John Evanchik, age 67 of Milford, Pennsylvania died on March 29, 2010 in Jacksonville Florida with his wife and family by his side. He fought a courageous ten-month battle with colon and liver cancer.
Dan was born in Wilkes Barre, PA and grew up in Jersey City, NJ. He graduated from Dickerson High School with the class of 1960 and attended Farleigh Dickinson University. He was employed as a mechanical engineer for Bankers Trust Company in New York City, the Hilton Hotel in Secaucus and Parsipanny, and also worked at the Playboy Club in Vernon, New Jersey during part of his career. He retired from Welsh Farms in West Caldwell in 2005. He was a great technician, able to fix just about anything, and very good with his hands.
He met Arlene (nee Harville) through a mutual friend. They dated for just over a year when Dan popped the question because he wasn't going to let such a good women go! Together, they enjoyed forty years of loving marriage.
They first lived in North Arlington, New Jersey and later moved to Pequannock, in 1977. They moved on Halloween day and, while Dan and Arlene were busy unpacking, one of the new neighbors offered to take their kids trick-or-treating; a random act of kindness that was greatly appreciated and never forgotten. In 1993 they moved to Wantage, NJ and then to Milford, Pennsylvania where they built their dream home in 2002.
Dan loved to go fishing. Anywhere he could drop a line in would suit him just fine. His home in Pennsylvania provided ample lakes and streams to fish. He also enjoyed his dogs; Lady was one of his early German Shepherds and he also had several Boxers. His last dog, KoKoa, will miss him dearly. He collected die-cast model cars and planes and loved his woodworking projects. He made wooden toys and even made a rocking horse for his grandchild. He also loved automobiles, landscaping the yard, was an avid reader of car magazines, popular science and consumer reports.
Dan is survived by his loving and devoted wife of 40 years; Arlene (nee Harville) of Milford, Pennsylvania, his loving children; Danielle Evanchik of St. John’s, Florida, and Brian Evanchik and his wife Kate of Pompton Lakes, NJ; four grandchildren; Olivia and Harley Evanchik of St. John's, Florida; Julian and Sylvie Evanchik of Pompton Lakes, NJ, and one sister; Kathy Eyet of Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.
A memorial garden is being planted in Dan’s memory, therefore in lieu of cut flowers, potted plants and live flowers would be greatly appreciated and can be sent to the church, c/o Arlene Evanchik.
