  Dan's daughter informs me that her father's full proper name was Dan Terry Wood.  It is unclear why Kenneth's obituary has his name as Daniel instead of Dan.
  
  ------------------
  You have my father listed as Daniel Wood which is incorrect, I'm not sure why Kenneth's obituary had him listed as such.   His correct full name is Dan Terry Wood and he was the last biological son of Beatrice and Rama Terry.
  
  Here is my father's information:
