As long as I live I will miss my friend. But one day I will see him again, what a day that will be.

I knew Dan through my cousin, Steve Smith, and was so impressed with the adventures they went on together. Once Dan and Steve parachuted at our family's reunion - it was amazing! I'm so sorry to hear of his passing and am sending my sympathy to Steve, Dan's family and all his loved ones. God bless you and give you peace and comfort. You're in my heart and prayers. Godspeed, Dan, on your adventure to Heaven......

Danny was my best man & I was his, one of my best friends. A man of integrity, with a heart of gold, the tenacity of a bull dog and the stuborness of a missouria mule. Danny passed on our anniversary so we will never forget and will celebrate is life and our anniversary each year on October 1. Carmel "Bud" and Mary Tackett.

Lori and Wendi,
I'm so sorry. We had some amazing adventures when going to your Dad's house; water skiing, playing in the creek, I think I remember making a goofy movie or tape recording when Heather was a baby! All such wonderful memories. I have many pictures of us all.
I haven't seen your Dad since your wedding Lori but I will always remember his laugh, that smile and him just been so fun to spend time with.
My heart is with you at this time. And thanks for sharing your Dad with me all those years.

Danny was a great guy and a wonderful neighbor. I will miss his Worthington tractor exhibit at the Ross Co. Fair in 2013. I'm glad he felt well enough to exhibit this past year. I'm sorry for the family and the community's loss.

Our Moms rocked us together as babies, we were raised together in Pleasant Valley, we went to school together, we shared lifes ups and downs together, we were always there for each other. God only knows how much I will miss him. And as he hung up the phone he would say, "I love you."

My most sincere sympathy goes out to Danny's family and friends. Along with his love of family and friends, his love of life was always evident. He faced his life with a zeal that most of us envied and faced his death with courage. His infectious smile (Which never changed through the years!)and kind heart, will be greatly missed. God's speed, soar on the wings of Angels.

I am so sorry to hear of Danny's passing. We were classmates from the Unioto class of 64. Although I only knew Danny over the last several years from class reunions and visits to Chillicothe, he always had a smile and a welcoming handshake. He will be missed by the class of 64 and all who knew him. My sympathy goes out to his family during this time of grief.

I am living in comfort to know that in his house are many rooms and Danny is now helping to prepare a place for each of us. It is a warm feeling knowing that Danny has received the Lords final healing and although we feel the pain of separation we know he is healed and will be happy forever.

All Blessings
