Leslie Edward Daniel, age 70 of Wayne, died Thursday, September 04, 2008 at the Hospice of NJ, Wayne.
He was born in Pequannock having lived in Haledon where he attended grammar school and later attended St. Paul Lutheran School in Haledon through eighth grade. He moved to Wayne and was a graduate of Wayne Valley High School’s first graduating class in 1956.
It was during high school that Les got a job at Chestnut Auto Body in Wayne and found his calling. He worked at Chestnut Auto Body before opening his own auto body shop called Mountain View Auto Body in Wayne. The location of his Les’ new body shop, where it is still located today, was originally a part of his father’ stainless steel diner manufacturing shop called Mountain View Diners. It was in 1985 that Les semi-retired and let his son Les take over the day to day operations of the business that still thrives today.
Les was a man who enjoyed old cars, old car shows, collecting replica models of old cars, his 1931 Model A Ford, his 1953 Ford Pickup, and was a man who could fix just about anything. Having made a living with his hands, he enjoyed taking rides through Lancaster, PA to admire the skill and craftsmanship of the Amish. He also loved his housetrained bunny named Benny.
He is the beloved father of Leslie E. Daniel III and his wife Dorothy of Wayne, Esther A. Daniel of Brick and Clinton J. Daniel and his wife Christine of Point Pleasant; cherished grandfather of Brienne E. Daniel, Michael R. Daniel, Thomas Kiesel and Blake Daniel; devoted brother of Barbara Daniel who predeceased him when she was only six years old.
