Daniel E. Milligan

Daniel E. Milligan

Daniel E. Milligan, 71, of Elizabethtown, passed away peacefully in his home at the Masonic Village, Elizabethtown.  He was born Saturday, November 4, 1944 in Philadelphia to the late Joseph and Eleanor (Jackson) Milligan.  He was happily married to Kathryn L. (Stroud) Milligan for over 34 years.

A veteran of the Vietnam War, Dan proudly served with the U.S. Air Force.  After being honorably discharged, he reenlisted in the U.S. Army Reserves, going on to serve in the Persian Gulf War.

Dan was an avid ham radio operator, Philadelphia Flyers and Phillies fan, and hobby collector. He was passionate about traveling with his wife, both within the United States and worldwide, and particularly enjoyed learning about military history on each of their adventures. His keen wit and affable nature made him friends wherever he went. An expert storyteller, Dan could easily captivate an audience with his tales. Most importantly, Dan embodied a generosity of spirit, always caring for others, offering support, and devoting himself deeply to his family.

In addition to his wife, he will be lovingly missed by his daughter, Amy K. Milligan and her husband, Heiner Kessler, of Mount Joy, as well as Dan’s extended family and caring friends.
