MADISON- "Danny has left the building!" Daniel Alan "MO" Morehouse, age 61, of the lower Eastside of Madison, passed away on June 3, 2016. He was born in Madison on Nov. 18, 1954, the son of Albert and Virginia (Lorenz) Morehouse. Danny graduated from Madison East High School in 1972. He was a Journeyman Electrician and belonged to IEBW, Local 159. Danny was an avid sports fan, and enjoyed camping with his family at his sister, Theresa's, land in Baraboo, but spending time with his family was his life. Danny is survived by his children, Courtney and Travis (Jordan Spieker); his mother, Virginia Morehouse; siblings, David (Alice), Jeanne (Jack) Sexton, Theresa (George) Brewe, Joseph, and John (Jeana); aunts, nieces, nephews and cousins; along with the mother of his children, Liz.

I never spent alot of time with Dan, but I was fortunate to have know his family- Some of his greatest work. He and Liz produced two of the greatest kids I have ever known. And they were very loving and dedicated to their dad, through his many trials and tribulations. Courtney has grown up to be a beautiful, hard working, independent woman... Travis is a son any parent would have to be proud of. These two made their dad so proud. Many people only wish for the richness they brought Dan in his lifetime. Rest peacefully. Julie Frahmann

I went to St. Bernard's Grade School and East High School with Dan. As a child, I recall spending many summers down at Wirth Court Park, playing softball with Dan and his sister Theresa. I grew up on the corner of Union St and Oak St. My 85 year old mother still lives there. Dan always had a smile on his face. I will miss seeing him at our high school reunions. So sorry for your loss. --Cathy Cuccia

So many great memories of Mo! He was my tool partner at H&H and taught me so much. He use to always say "if electrical work was easy they'd have girls doing it", and then laugh. I will miss that laugh! God speed brother!

I also went to St. Bernard's Grade School and East High School with Dan. And, like Cathy Cuccia stated, played with Dan and his siblings and my siblings at Wirth Court Park (I grew up on the corner of Wirth Court and Milwaukee Street). Lots of fun memories. My deepest sympathy to the family.

This is a sad loss! I too, went to St Bernards and graduated with Dan! His picture reflects the smile I fondly remember. In grade school he had a great sense if humor! Hopefully, he has found peace on the other side.
