Robert A. Dano

Robert A. Dano, 63, of Merrimack passed away unexpectedly on November 21, 2019. He was born in Wahiawa, HI on June 29, 1956 to the late Anthony and Elena Dano of the Philippines. Raised in Hawaii, he graduated from Saint Louis High School and completed an Associate’s Degree in IT before moving to the mainland shortly after. Robert resided in Merrimack, NH for the past 30 years and retired from his fulltime work in 2017 after 37 years with the same company.

While in Merrimack, Robert had been involved with town and school sports, coaching and volunteering for his sons’ teams. He stayed active on his own as well when obtaining his black belt in Taekwondo. An avid photographer, Robert honed his skills over the years and took that passion with him when traveling often for work and with his family.

Already a worldly traveler, following his retirement he continued to do contract work while heavily increasing his travel aspirations. He completed a 2-month, solo Southeast Asia trip in 2018 and had made plans for years to come. He was recently hiking the Patagonia trail in Chile when his heart gave way and he could not continue. Robert was experiencing life to the fullest when he passed.

He is survived by his two sons, Gabe Dano and Julian Dano, their mother Eylene Dano, his sister Doreen Dano of California and her children Shelley Vinnik and Thomas Childers, his brother Jonathan Dano and sister-in-law Kathy Leonardi of Hawaii and their daughters Christina Sleight and Phyllis Dano; along with all the loving Ohana near and far.

A Private Celebration of Life will take at the family’s convenience.

In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Robert Dano can be made to the Merrimack Youth Association at 487 Daniel Webster Highway Merrimack, NH 03054.
