To all Danny's family and friends. I worked with Danny when he drove a cab and when he dispatched. Danny was the most intelligent and witty guy when he dispatched and when we still had only the microphone to dispatch. I'll never forget when he came on the mike and said, we have drivers at the airport that got in but can't find their way out, I got a good laugh and I'm sure other drivers did too. Danny was also a really good friend. I have missed him since he left Bethesda and will always miss him.
Danny, rest in peace. Love Ellen
