Daniel P. Connell Jr.

Dan...I wanted to say "Thank You" for watching over Steve on the 17th. He still needs an angel watching over him and I know you are there with him because you loved everyone! Nick believes you are there for his Dad too! We all miss you so much and think about you very often. The kids are good and they think about you too. I am sure you see them now and then as you watch over them and they make you laugh, since children always brought a special kind of joy to you, especially your children....

Dear MaryBeth, Robin and Daniel: I think about you all often and regularly pray for your strength to see you through your days. How is Daniel? I will always have a special place for him in my heart. Daniel is a strong character and will be okay. He has so many happy memories with his dad as he shared them with me and his classmates. These memories you shared with Dan will be with you all your life until you meet him again one day. I believe that he is watching over you and wants to see...

Dan....I went to the Trans Siberian Orchestra last night. The whole time i was thinking about how much you would have enjoyed it althouh it was so loud I am sure you probably heard it or maybe you were there. The guitar players were AWESOME and the drums reminded me of how well you played them. When I listen to the Burl Ives Christmas CD, I think about you because you always played that one around the holidays and I remember the funny song you made up about The Little Drummer Boy!! I think...

I only recently heard of Dan's passing and my first thought was of his family, because I know he loved them above all else.

Dan, you were one of the good guys in this world. A man in every sense of the word. A man who took care of his own.

You were by far one of my favourite musicians to jam with. Your spirit came through in your drumming and I'm so sad that we won't get to play together again for some time now. You have totally influenced my playing, even back when we...

Dan & Carol,
I was schocked and saddened to read the notice of Danny's passing. I was speaking of him early in June as my youngest grandchild was crawling in her yard. I so vividly remember Danny and Robby in my yard as toddlers, in matching buster brown outfits, Danny so afraid of the grass!
Rest assured that you both did a fantastic job raising a wonderful son, as evident in all the tributes.
We've lost contact over the last twenty years, but you and your family...

Dad i still have words left to say.I feel so lost right now with out you. I know that you gave me all of these tools to succede but i feel as if i cant do anything with out you're guiding hand.I know we will see one another again but I hope that Daniel,Mom,and me make it threw this because i feel as if its all just falling apart right in front of my eyes.I think of all of those holidays spent together with the whole family and I feel so happy that we had that time together.And I also think of...
