Dan was born on February 18, 1947 in Willimantic, CT to Daniel and Ann (Rayhall) Lupoli, who predeceased him. He graduated from Bloomfield High School in 1965.  After graduation he entered into the Air Force where he was stationed at Patrick Air Force Base and then Thailand.  He was a member of the 635 Security Police Squadron PACA.

Dan married his high school sweetheart on January 20, 1968. The couple lived in Bloomfield, CT where they raised their two daughters and he worked at his family’s business Woodland Moving & Warehouse.

Dan’s passion was fishing, hunting and spending time with his family especially his grandchildren.
