Daniel "Dan" Conner is the husband of Roseanne Conner and the father of Becky, Darlene, D.J., and Jerry Conner. He is also the son of Audrey and Ed Conner, and the grandfather to Harris Conner Healy, Darlene and her husband David's daughter. He is a family man, and is shown in some episodes having a small temper. But overall, Crystal, in one episode, describes him as a huge teddy bear. He is a failed drywall worker, and a freelance contractor. In season 3, his longtime friend Ziggy suggested that they begin a bike business. The bike shop, after about two years, financially failed and was sold. At Darlene's wedding to David in season 9, he had a heart attack, which showed his terrible health, which had been declining over the seasons. He is the father-in-law to Mark and Kevin "David" Healy. At first he did not really care for Mark, but over the seasons, they bonded. David and Dan had a rough patch when David lied about living with Darlene, but Dan came to see him as a son-in-law.
