To Danny's family, especially Betty Sue. I am sorry to hear of his passing. I had not seen Danny for many years. We lived next door to each other growing up, he was the younger brother as was I. Danny was a great guy and friend. He was all boy and I am sure a man many would like and appreciate. He was three years ahead of me in school and I had his cadet uniform when I entered the Corps at JM, as he had graduated the year before me. Again, I am sorry to hear of his passing.

I will always remember him doing trick for us kids, wiggling his ears, finding quarters in places they hadn't been a moment ago.

Grew up with Danny in Highland Park and we were both Cadets in Eco at John Marshall High School in the 50's. I lived with Danny off and on for a few years on 4th ave. What a great time with the parties and the gang. He made it all happen. His door was always open to ya. What a great friend he was. I have already missed him since his death and will always. God bless you my friend and rest in peace.

I worked with Danny many years ago at Bellwood. Although I have not seen him in over 30 years, I have very fond memories of working with him and enjoying his company.

Danny was the best friend I ever had. We took many interesting trips together. If we didn't visit each other during the day we at least spoke via the telephone. Just two old buddies trying to solve the world's problems. Rest in peace my old friend.
