I am very sorry that Danny is gone but I am sure he would be happy to know he doesn't have to get poked at by yet another doctor. I remember him with a smile always on his face and he will be missed!

To Eunice and Family, Dan was a good friend and neighbor to us in Fla. He was always cooking something on the grill and for someone else in the Park. I guess Eunice you will have to learn how to make the Pea Soup. We will all miss him in Florida . R.I.P Dan,

Hey, Dan:

How's it feel to be walking with the angels? Those legs aren't bothering you now!
It's been a tough year, cuz, and you are going to be missed down here. Who is going to do all the cooking now? Maybe we'll just have to teach Eunice how to light the grille. Don't you worry about her though - with all the love that flows through your family, she'll do just fine. And remember, when she is in Florida, I'm family too.
