Danny, like uncle joe and uncle donnie, I too have a funny memory, like the time you worked on my Nissan pickup with Walt and hacksaw through the shock to get it off, it worked and then we went out and ate. You always gave me a good laugh. RIP nephew.

Like Uncle Donnie said, too young to pass...Danny you were always your own man with a mind of your own...when told to leave the dog alone while he was eating, you decided it was more fun to tease Smokey, until he ripped your pants off...thought you could duck lawn darts after being told to be careful...the next year, thought you could outrun rocks...but these are just some of the things you have done to make us all laugh and enjoy your company...you will be with family up there in heaven..so smile down on us once in while..Uncle Joe, Aunt Liz and Sean

This seems so wrong for you to be soo young and gone. I remember you growing up as a little wild one, keeping your grandmother and your mother on their toes. I remember laughing at you when you fell thru the opening in the bannister on Orange St. Man, you were so young. Now your going to have to look after your mother from above....
