• Name	Orrin Woodward Potter DANIELS  [2]
  	San Diego Union-Tribune, January 11, 2002 Lieutenant Orrin Woodward Potter Daniels, distinguished World War II pilot, passed peacefully away last Sunday January 6, 2002 in Laguna Beach. He was 81. Lieutenant Daniels was raised and educated in his native town of Altadena, Calif. before attending Harvard as a history novice and was fluent in French. His education was cut short by World War II and his honorable need to serve his country as a Naval Air Transport Pilot. After the war and at the end of his military service, Lieutenant Daniels returned to Pasadena as an officer in banking management at 1st. National Bank. His specialty led to a banking position in Paris, France where he met and wed wife, Vogue model, Joan Evelyn Class in 1951, who preceded him in death in 1985. The details of his position made him a world traveler in his early retirement in 1972, when he became a philanthropist and champion for private causes until his death. In retirement he resided in Boston and Marblehead, Mass. and returned to Corona Del Mar in 1998. He is survived by his brother Donald Potter Daniels and his five children: son, mortgage banker Devin Potter Daniels of Laguna Niguel; daughter Nicole Daniels of Pasadena; John, Gabrielle and Dorian Schlueter and seven grandchildren. Funeral services will be held at Mountain View Mortuary Chapel of the Gardens Friday, January 11, 1:45 p.m. with interment services following at the Daniels family plot. Burial: Mountain View Cemetery and Mausoleum Altadena Los Angeles County California, USA [1]
