Daniel Lougheed, age 73 of Wayne, died peacefully at home on Friday, April 5, 2013. Born April 29, 1939 in Glen Ridge, NJ, he was a lifelong resident of Wayne.
After high school, Dan joined the U.S. Army and served from 1958 to 1962. He stayed in touch with many of his Army buddies for a number of years and he was also active with the American Legion Post 174 in Wayne.
Dan was a tile setter for Local 2212 in East Orange. He retired from the union after a career of fifty years.
Dan was a big sports fan and an avid supporter of the Wayne PAL. He helped install the flooring when the building was constructed, and was a trustee and baseball coach for many years there. Many will remember him driving over to the PAL in his golf cart where, more recently, he would buy an ice cream and then watch the game with his wife Janet sitting beside him. He owned several golf carts over the years and that was his favorite mode of transportation around the neighborhood and to the PAL. On a few occasions he rode his cart down the road into Mountain View and the police pulled him over more than a couple of times, kindly letting him go with just a warning.
Dan was both a great ice and roller skater, and that’s how he met Janet. He called her up one day and asked her to come skating. She told him that she was eating dinner and that he should call back in an hour or so. Fifteen minutes later he was ringing her doorbell and once she let him in, he never left. They married on August 18, 1962 and enjoyed a honeymoon at the Jersey Shore. Over the years they traveled quite a bit with a group of about twenty friends, calling themselves the “Traveling Team”. They visited the Bahamas, California, Las Vegas, Canada and many resorts in Upstate New York. They had many fun times together and recently celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary.
Dan is survived by his wife Janet (nee Soder), Daughter Donna McIlwrath and her boyfriend Max Williams of Wayne, a son; Daniel Lougheed and his wife Marie of Newfoundland, NJ, grandsons; Patrick and Nicholas McIlwrath, Daniel and Eric Lougheed, granddaughters; Jaclyn and Laura McIlwrath, and Colleen Saia. Great-granddaughters; Madison McIlwrath and Nicole Saia and great-grandson; Derek Simmons, sisters; Arlene Botham and Nancy Linn, and one brother; Robert Lougheed. Dan was predeceased by his brother Donald in 2005 and by his sister Patricia Kaiser in 2005.
