It is so hard to believe you are really gone. I can still hear your laugh. I can still feel your feet beneath mine as you taught me how to dance. I can still feel your hand in mine. I will carry your spirt with me all the days of my life. Until I see you again daddy, rest in peace.

Deepest condolences to the Danos Family. No words can take away the weight of sadness that one carries when they lose someone they love. I am sending prayers for strength and courage to all the family to help bear the burden of their loss. I have been away from that area since 2000, but have fond memories of Nick from the time I worked with him back in the late 60's. He was such an inspiration to me. Always so full of laughter, love for his family and love of life in general. Rest in peace Mr.Nick!
