My Deepest Sympathys' to the entire family. I worked with Danny for many years in the cabinet industry at Mastercraft Cabinets and later Whirlpool Kitchens. He was a very smart man who was very well liked by his subordinates as well as superiors.
He was a very hard working and honest individual.
I have many, many fond memories of Danny and know that he will remain in our thoughts throughout our life.
May he Rest In Peace.
