Daniel Sliwinski passed away January 19,2023 at home surrounded by family. Dan is survived by his wife of 37 years, Anne Botelho and his children: Alexander, Jacqueline, and Paul; and siblings, Christine Kelleher, her daughter Kristina and husband George, Richard Sliwinski and wife Maureen and their children Ian and Samantha. He is also survived by Anne's large extended family including her 9 siblings, their spouses and children, and family friends, Bobby, Lisa, and Bob Snider. Dan was born in Poland in 1944 and came to the United States with his beloved mother, Kamila, when he was 4 years old to reunite with his father, Peter. He grew up in Dorchester, Massachusetts. He served in the United States Army and Airforce during Vietnam. For work he traveled extensively as a systems analyst in the semiconductor industry. He had a love for adventure and culture and was grateful to have experienced visiting countries in Asia and Europe including Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore, Germany and Israel. Dan will be remembered by his family and friends for his love of the family pets, especially his dogs Hunter and Brock. He also spent hours maintaining the family vehicles and actually built a kit car as a young man. He was extremely handy and able to fix just about any household item or car that stopped working, for whatever reason. During retirement, he relocated with Anne to Scarborough Maine for Anne's work. He enjoyed walking on the beach with his standard poodle, Hunter. He also walked the paths along the Scarborough Marsh with his Rottweiler/Husky mix, Brock. He and Anne moved to Austin, Texas in August 2020 to be closer to their daughter, Jackie and son Paul who relocated to Los Angeles. Dan worried at first about the heat, wondering how he would tolerate it. He found that he loved it! He spent many afternoons enjoying his backyard patio, relaxing with Brock even in the summer. A private service is being held on January 21, 2023 at Eloise Woods Natural Burial Park in Cedar Creek, Texas. A celebration of life is planned for June in the Boston, MA area. Contributions to his favorite charities may be made in his honor to the Wounded Warrior Project or the Bastrop Animal Shelter's Wish List on amazon.com.
