My most heartfelt condolancesto all of Dannys family, most particularily his grandchildren , he Always spoke with such Love and Pride about their lives and accomplishments.
Danny was an absolutely Huge influence on my young life !
for better or worse, mostly better, he shared himself with me.
his time,his knowledge, views and opinions, his patience with my foolishness was well beyond any reasonable expectations.
Danny showed me that if you cant fix it... unlikley, then you can probably make new one. Danny entered my life at a time that , in hindsight, we both probably had a void to be filled, he probably recognized that, i certainly didnt. I was a very eager student for all he had to teach me....and the Man was a fountain of knowledge, practical , get ya into, and out of trouble kinda knowledge. seldom a day has passed thru all these years that I wouldnt think to myself how this or that i was doing was shaped by in some way by my Beloved Stepfather Danny. So many children grow up without any Father at all, I was so incredibly blessed to have had Two!!
Thank You Danny, I Love You ,Bart
