Our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this sad time. Danny and I went to school together and he was a good friend of my brother Danny's growing up. We had so many fun times when we were young. Danny was always the jokester and made everyone laugh. The world will not be the same without him and heaven will surely change for the better with him.

There were so many good times that we all shared together growing up in Stoneham as kids with Danny it would just take to long to mention. One thing Danny could never hide was his feelings. Danny felt for people in a genuine way. Its people like Danny that have a way of touching all our lives and staying in our hearts forever. See ya in Heaven Danny! Mike Verhault

Danny my brother,

I saw an amazing thing tonight. I saw many of the people who's lives you touched in such a special way. You were an amazing guy, Dan, and I will always think of you as my brother, and my dearest friend. I know the last couple of years have been a struggle for you, but you always made sure the people you loved were never forgotten. Looking at all of the pictures tonight, brought back so many great memories. There was one of you sitting in front of the camp fire, and it made me think of you telling the stories about the bathroom horror shows. That was my favorite. I will never forget that smile, and the way we laughed together. Say hi to Dad for me. Rest in peace Dan.


Love you Buddy,

Roy

Danny,

We may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget. The world will be a different place without you Dan, but heaven will be a better place with you.

We love you,
