Paul Daniel “Dan” Plack, 79
March 16, 2023
Paul Daniel “Dan” Plack, age 79, entered Heaven’s Gate on March 16, 2023 in Lancaster, PA. There he was met by his second son, Michael James Plack, who preceded him. Dan was born on April 15th, 1943 in Philadelphia, PA to the late Paul and Vivian Plack.
Dan was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather and is survived by his wife of 54 years, Virginia (Kershaw) Plack; his three children and their spouses, Thomas and Leanne Plack, Heather and Steve Evans, and Nicholas and Nikki Plack; and 10 grandchildren, Michael, Taylor, Corey, Colette, Janelle, Adelynn, Johanna, Jasmine, Jalen and Logan.
Dan was a U.S. Naval veteran who proudly served his country during the Vietnam War Era. Dan’s main mission in life was to serve others and share the word of Jesus with them. He was also a passionate Philadelphia and Penn State Sports fan, but the Eagles took priority.
Family and friends of Dan are invited to gather at Calvary Church, 1051 Landis Valley Road, Lancaster, PA 17601, on Thursday, March 23, 2023. Guests will be received beginning at 1 PM, with a Celebration of Life Service starting at 2 PM.

Condolences to the Family

It’s hard to believe that my uncle Dan is gone. It’s been just one week, and I already miss his daily emails that often uplifted me. Uncle Dan touched so many lives, was a mentor for his children, and a wonderful partner to my Aunt Virginia. We will dearly miss you Uncle Dan. We find comfort in knowing that you are now pain free, and rejoicing in heaven!

My heartfelt condolences go out to the Plack family. I worked with Dan back in the late 80’s/early 90’s. Although he was nearly 30 years my elder, we formed a friendship. He was a good man and will be missed. RIP “Bud”. Your pal, “Bud Lite”

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Plack family. Only knew Mr. Plack for a short time, as we met at Emma and Michael’s wedding. I could tell he was a great guy. Love and prayers, ❤️🙏🏼 Suzette and Mike McDaniel

My big brother is in the love of our Redeemer. Dan’s daily emails were an inspiration to me and many others. I miss him already. I pray that The Lord will comfort his family, knowing that they will see him again at the resurrection. In the meantime, rest in God’s peace, my brother.

Dan was my Christian brother. He led me to the Lord. He was a kind, gentle, loving man. He was my deep friend and I will always have him in my heart. We were friends for many many years, he encouraged me and supported me through my trials and tribulations. His faith in the Lord was special and he is now in heaven amongst so many other Christian brothers and sisters, especially Jesus Christ, and his son who passed at a young age.
I will find him and we will continue our journey when I go to heaven
Love You Dan RIP
