So sad to hear of Danny's passing. We went all through school togetherhe a good friend, especially of the Greenfield years. It was wonderful seeing him at our high school reunion two years ago. I can't believe he's gone. My deepest sympathies to his family.

My deepest sympathy to Danny's family. I went to Greenfield and Allderdice with Danny. It was so nice seeing him at our 50th HS Reunion. We talked about some great memories from Greenfield mostly but he also talked about his children and how proud he was of them. I am very sad to hear of his passing but may his memory always be a blessing to all.
