Sharon, Pat & Family,
My deepest sympathy to all of you. Danny was a kind, generous, fun loving and all around great person and my life has been enriched by knowing him. Danny was like a brother to me and I will miss him. During the past few years, we did not see each other as often but we both knew we could always depend on the other. Danny was with me through a lot of tough times in my life and he was my beach partner for years. Sharon, I am so glad he found someone to love and loved him back because he was special. I was out of town and could make it to either service. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I will always cherish my memories and so should you.

My deepest sympathy to Danny's family. I worked with Danny at Public Works at Cheatham Annex and was very honored to work with him. Danny was a great guy who could always bring a smile to your face. May Danny be at rest - he will be sadly missed.

Danny was the best Uncle! He always made me feel loved. He never showed fear. I never knew Uncle Danny angry, always smiling and laughing! He welcomed me with all my friends for many summers and would get up at the crack of dawn to get crabs for us to eat all day. Never expecting payment just company! I know he is with grandma and grandad and enjoying a wonderful reunion even as we are all so sad because he will be so missed! He was amazing, and made everyone feel welcome! We will all miss you!

Sharon,
I was deeply shocked to learn of the passing of Danny. Unfortunately, prior commitments didn't allow me to attend either service. Danny was a fun guy to be around, and always carried a smile on his face, even when not feeling well.
Danny touched a lot of people's lives, and he will certainly be missed by everyone who knew him. Please accept my most heartfelt sympathy as it is extended to you and your family.

I shared a friendship for many years with 2 great guys who together they were like Brothers and with those two there was never a dull moment or a lack of entertainment. Years ago health problems took one of the friends home and all this time he's been watching and waiting for his good friend and Brother. Now Danny and Harvey can once again be together and have a good laugh on the rest of us. Sharon and family I am sorry for your loss and the grief that you bear but through it all remember the laughter and joy he brought to everyone around him.

Pat & George, Sharon and extended Poole family, Danny was a strong life force and lived more life in 55 years than many of us will do in an entire lifetime! That is a good thing and I hope your precious memories of him will help you in the days to come.

Danny always had time to try to help others and make life easier for anyone he could. If he knew of someone in need, he offered whatever he could do to help them. His spirit was his greatest gift to all of us and he will be remembered as a kind and generous person who loved life and loved Sharon very much.
Dan and I send you our heartfelt prayers and thoughts.

With all our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. Danny was a very special person in mine and Ryland's life even though we had drifted apart. Danny could fill the room with laughter when there was none. My connection with Danny brought me and Ryland together and brought me into a wonderful family that I have cherished and have given many thanks to the Poole family.
God is with you Danny with all our love,

Danny never new a stranger and was always ready to help when he was needed. Even when he had nothing or didn't feel at his best he would have smile and laugh for you. Danny lived his life to the fullest and never let any thing stand in his way of just being Danny. You could not talked to him that he wasn't going to tell you either something about his Sharon, his dogs, hunting or cooking. He will also be remember as Uncle Fuzzy by many young. George & I willl miss his coming in the house after hunting to have coffee and smoke with George. I will miss you so much. Sharon we are here for you always.
