Pawleys Island Dan Call, of Pawleys Island, died peacefully in his home on Sunday, January 29, 2012. Dan was always a Bronx boy in his heart. He often reminisced about bike riding with his buddies, playing stick ball, pitching horseshoes in the field across the street and going home exhausted at night. He attended Cardinal Hayes high school in the Bronx and was a proud member of the Marching Band. After graduating from Manhattan College where he played clarinet and saxophone in the orchestra, he married his high school sweetheart, Joan Rutigliano. Dan began his career at Guardian Life Insurance Company in NYC as a claims adjuster. They had 3 wonderful daughters and 4 grandchildren, Kathy Powell and son, Danny Powell, Patty Piatt, fianc'ee DJ Ramondelli and son Christopher and Jackie and Michael Temple and daughters, Nicole and Julia. Dan married Barbara Fleming whom he often referred to as his "party wife" in 1982. Barbara and Dan and their extended family spent many laugh filled hours sailing on his third love, the "Reverie", a 24 ft. wooden sailboat. Dan continued working for Guardian Life Insurance Co. as an Internal Management Consultant. While vacationing in Myrtle Beach, they found their piece of the sky and decided one day to retire to Pawleys Island. They relocated here in 1995 and Dan never looked back. He loved the beach and golfing. Dan's love of music was resurrected when he joined the Pawleys Island Concert Band. He also loved stopping in for a pint or 2 at his favorite place, Quigley's. Dan was an active member of Precious Blood of Christ Catholic church where he delivered meals on wheels and provided transportation to older members of the parish. He is survived by his sisters, Phyllis McKenzie and Christine Call-Sternberg, and his brother, Terrence Call. He was predeceased by his parents, Fred and Kay Call and his first wife, Joan Call. Funeral Services for Dan will be held at 12:00 P.M., Thursday, February 2, 2012 at Precious Blood of Christ Catholic Church with Father Patrick Stenson officiating.
