As my golf partner for a number of years in the Hartford Hospital Golf League, Danny was always a delight to be around and fun to be with. Always positive, whenever you asked him how he was doing, inevitably, he would answer "fantastic." He was a good soul - I will miss him. My condolences to his family and those who were close to him.
