Information as sent by Kathleen Timotijevic, sister of Dan Colleran, OE & OI (SN), 70-72:

The Celebration of Life for Dan Colleran, who tackled life’s experiences and did all he could to support the Hancock Association, will be held November 20, 2022, from noon to 3:00 p.m. at Club Casa Café at the Golf Center, 353 N. River Rd., Des Plaines, IL (a suburb of Chicago)

Dan Colleran’s family cordially invites anyone from the Hancock Association to attend the Celebration of Life. “It would be a great honor to have members of the Association at this special event in memory of my brother,” Kathleen says.

In July 2022, the Board of Directors of the Association unanimously voted to award Dan the status of Hannah News Editor Emeritus and granted him a Life Special Membership No. 855. The honor celebrates Dan’s outstanding work as the Hannah News Editor from 2008-2018. His deteriorating health forced his resignation from that position, yet Dan never stopped serving.

Many members and the current Hannah News Editor frequently turned to Dan for historical information. “My dad was the first president of the Hancock Association, and from him, I learned a lot about Hannah’s history. I’ve always wanted to do what I can to preserve the Hancock Association’s history—in memory of my dad, and because the Association offers invaluable historic information,” Dan said just a few weeks before his death.

Dan died in the early morning of September 23, 2022. His fight for life despite persistent cancers that wracked his body has ended.
