Dan's celebration of life is postponed until a later time in June at York Golf Club, 7459 N. High St. Columbus, 43235. Cotterman, Daniel Eugene 1947-2020. Dan, age 72, passed away on February 28, and was preceded in death by his beloved mother Eloise. Dan is survived by his wife of nearly 49 years, Nancy, sons Greg (Kelly), and Devon (Leah); grandchildren Owen, Eloise, Gianna, and Gisele; father Harlen; Aunt Thelma Chandler; sisters Florence (Jim) Borad, Cindy (Fred) Sondles, and Jennifer (Larry) Baiamonte; mother-in-law Liz Roehrer; numerous additional in-laws, nieces, nephews, and friends. After graduating with a B.S. in Business Administration from The Ohio State University in 1969, Dan was inducted into the U.S. Army in 1970 and served as a Warrant Officer 01 helicopter pilot in the 101st Airborne Division from 1971-1973. Dan quickly readjusted to civilian life and had a 43 year sales career in multiple companies and industries including Shell Oil Company; commercial insurance/State of Michigan; Coyle Music Center, musical instrument retail; and CFS Crowe Chizek, career recruiting. Dan was a member of the Masonic University Lodge #631 since 1985. A 35 year member of York Golf Club, he cherished walking and playing golf with his wife Nancy, sons Greg and Devon, grandson Owen and many friends. A pure extrovert, Dan never met a stranger. He was always quick with a joke and a laugh; treated everyone with fairness, kindness, and respect. Dan will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him. The planet has a little less light without his presence. We love you Dan, dad, Bawpaw with all our heart. The family would like to thank all of Dan’s caregivers at OSU Wexner Ross Heart Hospital and the Cardiac Rehabilitation Team, as well as the James Cancer Hospital for their dedicated care. A celebration of his life will occur at a later time in June at York Golf Club.
