My sympathy for your loss. I enjoyed the time I got to spend with him. He was rarely without some sort of humorous story to tell us about some adventure he experienced. Loved talking about his family and sports too. He was such a good natured fellow.

Dear Frances, I was shocked and sadden to read of the loss of your beloved Danny. Although I didn't know him too well, he always stuck his head in to say "Hi", whenever the Suburbanetts met at your home. He was always there to direct us getting our cars out of the drive way.
You will always have your memories and your family as well as your Myrtle family to help you through.

what can you say about a man who was a loving father, grandfather and was always willing to help those around him. Danny always made me smile whether it was talking about the celtics or sox game from the night before, or telling stories about his kids and grandkids. Danny is the epitome of being taken too soon with so much more love in his heart. it saddens me that i wasnt able to see his smiling face one last time. i know that danny will still be helping guide each and every person that was in his life from up above and will be waiting for all of us when we get there.

Dear Frances and Family,
Ellen and I are so sorry for your loss and I will miss him dearly.
He would often make my day brighter when we would meet on Rt. 128 to exchage equipment and talk sports or exchange stories about his twin grandsons and my twin boys.
He was available to offer help when needed and always with a smile.
He was a true gentleman.
