Daniel R. Katz
Obituary
Daniel R. Katz, 79, died peacefully at home on December 4, 2020. Dan was born in Louisville, KY on October 31, 1941 to David and Carolyn (Flumbaum) Katz. After college, Dan served in the US Coast Guard before spending a lengthy career in management positions in the convenience store industry. In 1992, Dan and his wife, Susan, launched Tulsa’s first network restaurant delivery service, Dining Express Delivery, which was later merged into the national service GrubHub. Dan was known for his wit, his intellect, and his ability to ask the tough questions. He was an avid sports fan, especially for the Cleveland Browns, and took pleasure in a good golf score and good scotch. Susan asks that the next time you hear Dan’s favorite song, “Friends in Low Places”, that you smile and think of him.
Dan is survived by his wife, Susan Prater Scott; his sons Mark (Amy) Katz and Jeffrey (Julie) Katz; his stepson Justin (Amy) Scott; 6 grandchildren and 4 great granddaughters.

I loved the way he could start a lively conversation in our four couples dinner group, then sit back and watch the sparks fly😂

Dan, you will be missed! How often do you find a friend, that is willing to jump on a plane and fly to California for a wedding on Thanksgiving weekend! Or the fact you chose to spend several of your birthdays just floating in our pool in AZ. Totally content you were, just relaxing in the sun. Art and I looked forward to February as we knew we would see you and Susan in Rancho Mirage and spend a wonderful weekend together. Who is going to make the Blood Mary's? I hope you know how much Art and I value our friendship with you and Susan and our times together. You left us with some wonderful memories and we thank you for that! You will always be in our hearts! Love Debbie and Art.
