To me, he'll always be Dean Martin!
Mr. Strauss always had a smile on his face and a vivacious spirit about him. He was a captivating story teller and a kind soul. My love and prayers go out to Danny, Becky,
Kenny (Squid), Eileen, Susan and Patty at this time of loss.

I will watch for the date of his memorial service, and be there for you all, with my Yankee Hug and tons of love. God Bless and Comfort you all.

Dear Danny - We were kids together in Woodside, we went to school together, we went to military service together, went to St. Sebastian's dances together, played basketball and football together, we turned 80 together. I loved you and your family, your wife Helen, your parents, your brother Artie and sister Flo. You told me you were clear of your illness and I was very happy, then our Lord decided to call you home. I will miss not hearing from you occasionally but will never forget your deep friendship, your laughter and the great way you boosted all of our spirits. I love you Dan and will always remember you and Helen in my prayers. God love you and all your family.
