Judy and family, I have just heard of this sad sad news. I send my sincere sympathy to you all. He was such a good man...We miss you all here in Williamstown. Many good memories. Peace be with you. Love, Clare, Wayne, Howard and James Morrison

Andre and I were greatly saddened to hear of Dana's death. He was always one of my favorite people at Mt. Greylock, and I grieve that his happy retirement did not last longer. I hope your many good memories of him will help to balance the great loss you feel.

I am so sorry to hear of your families loss. I have so many wonderful memories of Mr. Danforth from French class and as "father" to so many of my friends, ABC students and Christian. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time.

To the Danforth family,
Thoughts and prayers are being sent your way during this difficult time. Mr. Danforth was a patient, kind, and encouraging teacher. His devotion to the ABC house was inspiring and assisted some of my favorite people. The world has lost a special man.
Thinking of you all,
Colleen (Judge) Martin

Au revoir et a bientot M. Danforth... I will forever remember your patience and kindness, though I will never pronounce "du" correctly, I still sing the song of French cities with my daughter who has French in Kindergarten here in Albany... "Orleans, Beaugency, Notre Dame de Clery, Vendome, Vendome". ABC work was inspirational. Best to Chris and all the family.

Mr. Danforth was a fantastic teacher. During my years at Mt. Greylock, I spent a lot of time at the ABC House. He was a great mentor and cared so much about his work. He will be sorely missed. My thoughts are with his family in this difficult time.

I have a lot of great memories of Dana from the time I was involved with the Williamstown ABC Program. I was in charge of keeping the house in good repair and the first job I took on was the renovation of the living room. Dana was my main man helping me with the tearing out of the old plaster. It was a dirty job but we had a lot of laughs doing it.
Dana was one of the reasons I decided to volunteer at the House. Seemed like every time I drove by the house Dana was out on Hoxey Street...

I have many fond memories of Mr. Danforth as my French instuctor at Mt. Greylock Reg. High School. I was sadden to hear of his passing. My prayers and thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
