Obituary for Daniel Thomas "Grease" Mahoney
WATERVLIET - Daniel Thomas Mahoney, “Grease”, a lifelong resident of the Capital District passed into eternal life on Wednesday, May 20, 2020 at 9 am.
Dan is survived by his wife of 44 years, Cindy (Corina) Mahoney: his children Daniel (Nicole) Mahoney, Carissa (Matt) Charton, Craig (Katherine) Mahoney and Jamie Mahoney; his brother David (Mary June) Mahoney; his sister-in-law Bonnie Mahoney; his brothers in law, Anthony (Shari) Corina and Angelo (Heidi) Corina; six grandchildren, Nathan and Laura Charton, Madeline Mahoney and Cole Mahoney, Giuliana Mahoney and Olivia Mahoney and nieces, nephews and many cousins. Dan is also survived by all of the children who were friends with his children, neighbors, or community kids who looked to him for guidance and fatherly love over the years, as well as countless friends.
Dan is predeceased by his mother and father, Joan and James Mahoney; his brother, Jay Mahoney and his in-laws, Anthony and Doris Corina.
Dan was born on March 7, 1952, in Troy, New York. He graduated from Troy High School and served in the National Guard in the early seventies. On October 24, 1975, he married Cindy and over the next thirteen years they had four children together. Dan worked 26 years as a machinist at the former Manning Paper Company before the first of a series of strokes left him disabled. He also served as a volunteer, for better than a decade, at Schuyler Heights Volunteer Fire Department and was a member of the Watervliet Elks Lodge for twenty years.
Dan will be remembered by so many. To know Dan was to love him. He was so full of life, often remembered as “the life of the party” and the biggest fan of Elvis. He never shied away from telling someone he loved them. His life was lived well and he shared it with many. Whether it was on the softball fields, coaching Little League and Pop Warner, or helping family and friends, he brought a smile to the face of anyone that knew him. He will be missed beyond measure but will always live on in our memories.
Due to current health concerns, a private wake and prayer service will be held for Dan on Tuesday morning in the Parker Brothers Memorial in Watervliet following which he will be entombed, with a Rite of Committal service, at St. Mary’s Mausoleum in Troy.
A celebration of Dan’s life, for all family and friends, will be held on September 19, 2020 at Lanthier’s Grove in Latham.
