He was born in Norway on September 8, 1950; son of the late Raymond and Arlene (Bartels) Schlais. Dan was a graduate of UW Stout and taught Electronics at Antioch Community High School.

Dan will be remembered as a loving father, grandfather, and friend with an array of talents.

His warm heart and spirited nature will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
