Daniel Milton Barth

It is with great sadness that the family of Daniel Milton Barth, "Dan", 95, of Leesburg, FL, announces that he left this world on November 6, 2022, after a long, productive and happy life. Dan was born July 9, 1927, in upstate New York. He was predeceased at an early age by his parents Daniel Jacob Barth and Catherine Marcus and was raised from the age of 4 by Fred and Mary Pfalsgraph. His wife of 44 years Leona Louise "Johnnie" (nee Conboy), the mother of his 4 children, died in 1993. He is survived by son Daniel with his wife Diane, daughter Rebecca Furlong with her husband Kevin, daughter Janice, and son Terry with his wife Wan. He also leaves behind his wife of 26 years, Barbara (nee Trumpbour), a grandson Daniel Barth, granddaughters Catherine and Brianna Barth, and 4 stepdaughters, Carol Cipura, Cathy Burnweit, Nancy List, and Sally Frick, along with their children and grandchildren, all of whom he treated as his own family. Dan was exceedingly proud of his service as a Marine during World War II and the Korean Conflict. A highlight of his later life was the Honor Flight mission to Washington, DC, where he was joined by his Marine veteran son, Terry, and celebrated for his military sacrifices and achievements. He distinguished himself in the service of his country and upheld the Corp's values throughout his life. He was employed by General Motors Acceptance Corporation (a subsidiary of General Motors) as a claims adjuster and branch manager for 38-years. His career started in Buffalo, NY, but promotions took him and his family to a handful of states across the country until his retirement to coastal North Carolina and finally to central Florida. Dan was an avid outdoorsman. In his later years, he loved to cast his line into the ocean off the Outer Banks of the North Carolina coast in hopes of “catching” vs fishing, and many an autumn found him hunting with his two sons. He could be seen on the tennis courts or around the kitchen table, dealing cards to anyone who would accept the challenge. He and Barbara relished their time on the road in their Airstream camper, touring state and national parks and visiting friends and family along the way. Throughout his life, he was a health and fitness aficionado, working hard to keep his body and mind strong. At home in Leesburg, he was a willing helper in the neighborhood and a welcoming host, quick to throw something delicious on the barbecue and crack open a beer to entertain visitors. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend to many over his lifetime. He will be sorely missed. There will be a private military send-off at Bushnell National Cemetery for Veterans in the near future. The family requests that, in lieu of flowers, donations in his name be made to the Wounded Warrior Project online or at POB 758516, Topeka KA 66675-8516.
