Dan was born Sept. 11, 1942, the son of James and Sarah Louise (Clark) Richmond.

Danny frequently traveled to multiple Mannheim Auto Auctions across the United States. No one was a stranger to Danny, he befriended so many people at the auctions near and far. Everyone looked forward to seeing his warm smile and loved his jokes. He always made a positive impression on anyone he crossed paths with throughout his life.
