Daniel F. Petticord's Obituary
Daniel F. Petticord, 73, of Amherst, Ohio passed away Wednesday, July 31, of complications following a surgical procedure.
Dan was born in South Lorain on April 4, 1946. He was a 1964 graduate of St. Mary's High School in Lorain, where he was an altar boy and a member of the football and tennis teams. He attended Borromeo Seminary and Miami University.
Dan spent the bulk of his professional career with Aztec Catalyst in Elyria, retiring as a corporate sales representative in 1998.

Dan was preceded in death by his parents, Milton and Mary Petticord of Lorain and his sister, Joanne Zerkel. He is survived by his wife, Susan (nee Pales), of Amherst; son, Dan (Jenny), of Sheffield Village; and two grandchildren, Daniel F. Petticord III and Marisa C. Petticord. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
