Daniel E. Wells' Obituary
Daniel Edwin Wells, age 76, passed away peacefully on Friday, October 25, 2024. Son of the late Kenneth and Gertrude Wells, beloved husband to Carol (nee Hespen), loving father to Bob (Jean); dear grandfather to Aidan, Madelyn, and Olivia; and nephew Mark.
Born in Lakewood, Ohio, Dan was a lifelong Clevelander. An industrial wireman/electrician by trade, he worked 34 years at LTV Steel before retiring only to work another 10 years at Dominio Sugar which he often said: "it was a real sweet job". When not at work, Dan was an avid bowler, golfer, and softball player when he was not helping friends with their home projects. When not playing or working, you could find him in his Hawaiian shirt sitting on a beach in Mexico, one of the Hawaiian Islands, or other domestic and international locations he vacationed to.
Dan's family is eternally grateful to Holy Family Home Hospice for the care and compassion in his final days. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the Holy Family Home - residential hospice via Catholic Charities https://www.ccdocle.org/locations/holy-family-home-hospice/support-us.
Friends are invited to a visitation at Vodrazka Funeral Home 6505 Brecksville Rd., Independence (1/2 mile south of Rockside Rd.) on Wednesday, November 6, from 4-8 PM. Mass of Christian Burial will take place St. Columbkille Church, 6740 Broadview Rd., Parma on Thursday, November 7, at 11:30am. A private interment will be at a later date at Holy Cross Cemetery.
