Can't explain in words how much Danny contributed to our 9 Break & Run pool team. I miss him so much and it's just not the same without him. He always brought a smile to my face. A genuinely kind amd thoughtful person. My life was blessed just to know him and I was so lucky to call him my friend. He will always be in my thoughts. Trudy

We had the pleasure of working with Danny for many years, we also
were blessed to know him and his family on a personal basis. He
was a very kind and caring person. The world would be a much nicer
place if there were more people like him. We will miss him more than
words can say.
