My sympathy to Danny's family and close friends. Like Joanne, I have not seen him since we graduated from RCS, but I did have a crush on him in junior high school! He was one of the most amusing and bright of our classmates. I am saddened to learn of his death.

I was so sorry to read Danny's obit in the News-Herald. I don't think I've seen him since high school graduation, but remember him fondly as a bright, articulate and really funny guy. I'm so sorry he's gone.

Its been awhile, but you are one I will never forget! I will always cherish the chats we had at the bar. I always wondered what interesting fact I would learn each time I saw you! You were a wise, witty, intuitive, and charming man! Thank you for your listening ear, your words of encouragement, and the laughter you brought to me and those around you. You will be missed!
