Daniel James Culhane, 84, of Nanuet, NY, formerly of Northvale, NJ, passed away on Tuesday, February 10, 2026surrounded by his family. Beloved husband of Constance Ann Culhane (nee Zwanzig) for 58 years. Cherished father of Coreen, Richard and Denise. Predeceased by sisters Carole DeSantis and Jacqueline Morra. He is survived by many nieces and nephews, including Deborah DeSantis, who was a constant presence in his life.
Dan was born on November 25, 1941 to Daniel J and Mary Culhane (nee Dikun). He was raised in the Throggs Necksection of The Bronx with his two sisters and his dog Queenie.He had countless stories of “The Neck,” as he proudly referred to it, and his memory was impeccable in telling them. If you knew him, you probably heard one of these stories. And he probably made you laugh. He was animated, quick-witted, sarcastic and what you might call a character. If you met him once, you remembered.
Dan was a proud US Army Veteran of the Vietnam War. While living in Northvale, he was a member of the Northern Valley Optimist Club, through which he made many friends in the area. He also coached little league in the town during his son’s grade school years. The end of his career was spent as a Corporate Credit Manager at B. Blumenthal & Company, Inc. in Carlstadt, NJ, a role from which he retired in 2004.
Dan’s was a life well-lived, and his absence leaves a void for everyone who knew and loved him. We miss him already.
Visiting hours are Sunday, February 15, 2026 from 2-5 PM at Pizzi Funeral Home, 120 Paris Ave, Northvale, NJ. A Funeral Service will be held Tuesday, February 17, 2026 at Pizzi Funeral Home with interment to follow at Rockland Cemetery, Sparkill, NY.
