With heavy hearts we send our condolences to Karen and her entire family.   We will always respectfully know him as Danny Baughman from “The Pool”.   Nickel Mines Swimming Pool was our “second home” throughout our teenage years with Danny and  many other friends.  The pool was the best, second to none with Dan as the master helmsman guaranteeing perfection at all levels.  Our continued acquaintances  with Dan and Karen throughout the years were memorable, experiencing  all the exceptional attributes Dan and. Karen provided the Solanco School District .   We are so privileged to have known such a legendary person as Dan , and will always smile thinking of him.       Regards, Randy and Cindy Davis Rapp

Mr. Baughman was a very positive figure in my life. I used to go to the pool every day in the summer when I was young. I would sit in the breezeway with him while he checked people in and we would talk about life. He would give me advice and just be a genuinely nice guy. I’m grateful for his kindness to me over the years. I will remember his friendly demenor and the clever way he could make fun of me so we would both end up laughing together. I was always happy to see Danny Baughman. My condolences to the whole family.

Dear Karen and family,
We were so sorry to hear about Dan and the illness he suffered. He was a good friend and someone I greatly admired and valued.   We helped each other get through lots of adversity as athletic directors.  We also shared many great moments at the state conference. He was truly a terrific guy.  Jamie remembers him fondly from years at the pool, so yes, he definitely impacted our lives in the best way.  All of love to you and the family.

Dear Karen, My heart goes out to you. I know how hard it is to lose the love of your life so suddenly. Dan was a good man. I and everyone at the Oak island Golf club who played golf with Dan, always enjoyed his company. He always had a smile on his face and was fun to be around. I will miss Dan as will all who knew him at Caswell Dunes and at the golf club. He was a great neighbor and friend.

Karen, Erin and Megan,
What an incredible heartache this is to the Shaw Family. At least once a month, I attempt to convey to my husband the impact Dan, the Baughman Family (and their many friends), and that pool had on our childhood(s). I’ll never forget Dan’s enthusiasm for swimming and how deeply he wanted kids to succeed. Succeed they did — so many kids excelled in athletics and beyond. Now, as an adult, I know how important that type of mentor is and boy were we lucky. What a legacy he has left. Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time. Much love, April (Shaw) O’Brien

Praying God’s peace and comfort Megan for you and your family.
Love & hugs,

Dear Karen
My heart is very saddened for you and your family when I read about Dan’s passing.  I enjoyed reading about Dan’s life and seeing you all on Facebook posts.  I’m so very sorry for your loss.  After bumping into each other through the years, perhaps we can get together at some point. your “Leaf Park” friend-

Dan was a tremendous man. He exuded class and acceptance with everyone he met. He was a perfect fit for the athletic director, a true example of leadership, being involved in every way for every sport. The Solanco community owes a debt of gratitude to him and his wife for the efforts they put in to the district. God Speed!

A great friend for so many years who will be missed deeply. To put it simply, my life was better because Dan was part of it. I am fortunate to have many, many great memories of our times together. Yes, I am one of those Nittany Lion fans who watched many PSU and Michigan football games harassing Dan! Unfortunately, he got to celebrate many more times than I did. I am so happy that he got to experience the Michigan football national championship in 2023. I was blessed to know his parents Dan senior and “Fritz” who treated me like a son. My heart goes out to Dan’s wonderful wife, Karen, beautiful children, Megan and Erin and precious grandchildren Caroline and Evan. I hope that in time with God’s grace, the sorrow you now feel will be eased by the wonderful memories that you have of shared times together. God Bless You.
