Posted on Jan 27, 2010 @ 06:54PM
Nancy Kerrigan and other members of her family held a wake for her father Dan in Stoneham, Massachusetts, on Wednesday.
"Dan Kerrigan was, first and foremost, a man whose family was the center of his world," says a statement released by the Kerrigans.
Mourners assembled in a line a block long outside the funeral home, according to People. The wake was held at 3:30 pm.
Nancy Kerrigan's Brother Has Violent Past
In the statement, Nancy called her father Dan "an extra parent" to her three kids and commented on his unfailing support. He "was there behind me always" she said.
Dan was well-known for being a rock of support for his family. He was a devoted husband to his legally blind wife Brenda, a youth coach for his sons' hockey teams and was once president of the Stoneham Figure Skating Club.

He was allegedly attacked by one of his sons Mark who has pleaded not guilty to assault and battery on an elderly person resulting in serious bodily injury. Mark was not allowed to attend his father's funeral according to local police because he had been sent to a psychiatric facility. He had been deemed a potential danger to himself.

Siobhan and PeoplePlease......I agree completely with both of your comments.
I think at this point it is simply a matter of waiting for confirmed proof from the medical examiner's office before they will charge him with murder.

This is a tragedy of epic proportions. To comment on Nancy being some sort of homewrecker is really in poor taste.

Since when is Nancy Kerrigan such a celebraty that she has to be discussed on every news show? I'm sorry that her father has died, but come on. Nancy is no little princess herself. She's a home wrecker.

Bottom line is he should have NEVER put his hands on his father! No matter what the autopsy says, he will always be seen as responsible for the heart attack that killed his Dad.

If the father died after the son strangled him, shouldn't he be charged with murder? He had a heart attack after he was strangled.
