Noelle, I knew your father through Jere Forte. He was a gentle, classy man, accomplished man with such a warm smile. Peace to him.

As a musician I was blessed with the opportunity to play Art Danials' fine yet challenging compositions and arrangements for years. Set's life energy, talent, and world view was music. I was an honor to performance and even rehearse under his baton. I guess when the performing arts stopped, Art's work here was done. Art show them all how it's done up there. Tony Moore

The greater compliment I can pay any man is to say that he was a true gentleman, Art was all of that and more. I met Art through Doc Neupauer when Art played with the Neupauer Sax Orchestra. He was indeed a great musician and all around good person, I played Alto Sax along side of Art and learned so much from the experience. So many of our fellow musicians have passed on so I know that's got to be one heck of an orchestra up there now, Rest in Peace my friend and thank you just for being who you were and sharing some of that with me, I'll always remember.
