Daniel Bernard Schuster, the son of Leo and Letitia (Custer) Schuster, was born November 25, 1934 in Deer Creek Township, Iowa.  As a child, he moved with his family to the Otho area where he received his education.  Following his education, Dan was employed for 12 years by Gus Glaser Meats in Fort Dodge.  He was united in marriage to Jeanine Wiese at Corpus Christi Church and the couple made their home for a time in Fort Dodge.  To this union four children were born, Rick, Kris, Kelly, and Lisa.  In 1961, the family moved to a farm south of Humboldt where he farmed for 27 years before going to work for DeKalb in Humboldt for 10 years.  For 10 years prior to his retirement in 2008, Dan enjoyed his work for Co-City Bus.

Mr. Schuster was a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church.  He enjoyed playing 500 and golf.  An avid checkers player, Dan recently took up on-line checkers.  He also enjoyed fishing, and in his younger years, dancing.  Above all he enjoyed his grandchildren and great grandchildren and will be dearly missed by his family.
