Truman M. Danielson found his peace on Tuesday, November 24, 2020, age 93.  He was born in Fillmore County, MN where he lived and worked on a farm.  He joined the Navy on his seventeenth birthday in 1944.  After the war he worked for the Milwaukee Road Railroad for 40 years.

Loving father of Steve (Barb), Carol, the late Marty and Dean.  Dear step-father of Chris, Cathy (Dale) Bill and Don. Proud grandfather of 7 and great-grandfather of 10.  Special brother of Phyllis, Nancy (Doug), and Patricia.  Preceded in death by brother, two sisters and wives Betty (mother of his four children), Joan (mother of step-children) and Barbara. Further loved by other relatives and friends including close friend Darlene.

Papa had a smile that could light up a whole room.  He was an ace poker player who always bragged about his winnings.

Thank you to Silverado and Auberge Memory Care where he lived for three years.
