Dear Went Family, I was extremely surprised to hear about Danny. I had the pleasure of being a classmate in high school. He made each day interesting. I always looked forward to seeing him at our reunions. I am so sorry about your loss. Becky (Santini) Hearn, New Fairfield,CT

To the Went Family: I was shocked and saddened to hear of Danny's passing.We began our formal education together at Booth Free School with Miss Bernhardt and her piano.We were a small class from a small town.Families came to know each other through school,church and community interactions. The Went family was a well respected and active family within our community.Dan was well respected,a fine and kind person,as well as a great athlete.At Washington High (class of 1969),we Spartan spectators and supporters, had the opportunity to share in Danny's athletic achievements on the court and on the field.I send my sincerest sympathy to all of you and pray that the wonderful memories created over the years and the love you shared help sustain you and give you strength during this time of grief and loss.

Glad we have memories of that happy senior high school swimming year that Nate and Worth enjoyed. Dan was an avid fan and supporter. We now live in a Sun City in South Carolina and Bob just had his 84th birthday last week. Sometimes it is a blessing to pass so fast and never have to age. We pray for your family. connie & bob Holbrook

Dear Went Family: Sincerest sympathy to all of you at this the hardest of all times. Danny was one of the pillars of the Booth Free School Class of 1965 as well as the Washington High School Class of 1969. Was with him from third grade through twelfth.. It was wonderful to see him in '82 and '99. So very sorry to have missed seeing him in '09. May your many years of happy memories be a comfort and your wonderful family be a source of much strength and great love. Diane Stauffer Archambeau and the Stauffer Family

Dear Laurie and family, I am so sorry for Danny's passing. He was the best and the kindest of men, and we are the poorer for his absence. I am sure that the coming days will be filled with wonderful memories, and sorrow, as well. I hope that knowing your friends admire him, and all your family for their wonderful lives brings some solace. With sincere sympathy,

While I did not know Daniel Went, I have the privilege of knowing his son and daughter-in-law. My husband & I recall meeting him once at Kylie's dance class where our daughter Ava also was and he was a very nice man. Kerri has told me such nice things about Mr. Went. I'm sure Mr. Went has a lot to do with how great of a man, father, & husband that JD is today. Thus, I wanted to take this time to express my condolences to JD, Kerri & all of the family of Mr. Went. JD & Kerri - if you need anything, we are here for you! May God look over all of you during this time, Shantel & Michael Tritthart (McKInney, TX)

Dear Went Family,
Dave Fray, Bill Fairbairn and Jim Pickett, teammates of Danny's at Washington High, are here on vacation when we got the sad news from home. Danny was a great athlete but an even greater person. We have been reminiscing about our times together and about some of Dan's legendary feats.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you and with Dan's extended family as well. His memory will always be cherished by all of us who share the special bond that comes from competing together.
May God bless you all
Bill, Dave and Jim

To all the Went family,
Dan (Danny) was a important figure in my early years. He was the pitcher and I was the catcher at WHS. He was also a friend and a very talented and generous guy. My condolences to all of you during this time.
