Daniel J. Paluso

Daniel Paluso found peace and eternal rest on Sunday, February 2nd, 2025. Dan was born on April 23rd, 1934, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to Joseph and Carmela (DeMilio) Paluso. The family moved to Bay View in 1938, and Dan went on to graduate from Bay View High School. He proudly served in the Marines during the Korean War era before beginning a long career at Ladish Company, where he worked until retirement. In 1960, Dan met the love of his life, Betty (Muck) in Angelica, Wisconsin, and they married just four months later. They settled in Milwaukee, where they raised their three children and built a wonderful life together. On August 20th, 2024, they celebrated 64 years of marriage, a testament to the love and bond they shared. Dan cherished spending quality time with his family and friends. He was a generous, caring, and loving father and grandfather. With his natural warmth and vibrant personality, Dan was the ultimate people person and a gifted storyteller, even if some of his favorite tales were shared more than once. He loved to joke that his wife only married him for his Bonneville convertible. Each morning, he could be found reading the newspaper with his coffee in hand, while also spoiling his beloved dogs. Dan had a passion for aviation, often taking his children and grandchildren to airshows or watching the planes take off from the airport near his home. His heart was as big as his personality and had a unique way of making friends wherever he went. His kind nature and infectious spirit will be remembered by all whose lives he touched. Dan is survived by, and will be dearly missed by, his wife Betty, his children Julie, Bob (Sue), and Lori, his grandchildren Garrett, Lauren, Nicole, and Shay, his brother Bill (Mary) Paluso, along with his nieces, nephews, other relatives, and many friends. Dan was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Joseph and Carmela, his brothers, Rich and Joe (Ruth), and his beloved daughter-in-law, Susan (Miller). Friends will be received at the church on Wednesday, February 12th, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM, with a Mass to follow at 11:30 AM. The service will be held at St. Roman Parish, 1710 W Boulevard Ave, Milwaukee, WI 53221. Military honors will follow at 12:45 PM at Arlington Park Cemetery, 4141 S 27th St, Greenfield, WI 53221, for those wishing to attend. A luncheon will be held afterward at Meyer’s Restaurant, 260 S 76th St, Greenfield, WI 53220, where all are welcome.
