We will always remember the good times we had both in Cranston & in Arizona. Danny was a true friend and will always be remembered with a smile.

I was sad to hear of the loss of Charlie. He was such a great man who always put a smile on my face when he came into my office. I'm very sorry for your loss. May you find comfort and may he rest in Peace.

Danny was like a father-in-law to me, we all considered him family. I'll miss his sense of humor and his way to tell a story like no one else. I'll miss his visits to our house with my mother-in-law, Twila, and the way he always found a spot on the patio (where ever we lived) to bask in the sun and enjoy the scenery. We were all so happy to know that the two of them had their tickets to visit us in October. He truly was part of the family and his passing leaves a gaping hole in our lives and sadness in our hearts. We are so thankful for the time we were able to spend with him. I know that many will miss him, he was one in a million.

Danny was a "gentleman" in every way. He was a devoted friend to myself and my husband and to Twila. He was compassionate, and would be more concerned about my health problems than his own. He was a fantastic cruise traveler and we will also remember all the great times we had. May you Rest in Peace Danny and remember you are loved by us. Love Debra and Bob

Floyd- it has been a very long time Class '68, but I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am to read the passing of your father. No matter how old our parents get they are always, in our minds and hearts, too young to die.
