I have been friends with Danny, W3JMH since we met at SHHS in 1955. We studied and passed our Amateur Radio licenses in 1956. Danny had to transfer to BMHS while I remained at SHHS until we graduated in 1959.
We enjoyed building radio kits and studying and communicating with others around the world via Voice and Morse code.
Danny, Sandy , Barbara and I enjoyed attending and participating at the annual Hamvention in Dayton Ohio where we met over 24,000 other Ham Radio operators from...

Dan bought a Pontiac Phoenix, I bought a Chevy Citation in 1980. I was taking a walk, Dan was on his porch; we started shooting the breeze about cars,and never stopped.
We became walking buddies, because it was good for our health. We started detailing cars; I figured I needed help, and Dan was the obvious guy. We worked at our own pace, listening to 1060 oldies on the radio, and just talking and yucking it up.
We often attended the Farm Show together, brother David came also, and...

He would sometimes whistle when he came up the driveway and our dog Enzo would hear him and start running to every window looking for Dan. He loved Enzo and Enzo was always...

So very sorry to hear of Dan's passing. As Ham radio operators in Harrisburg, we knew each other since I was in Junior High. We had many years of visiting together and meeting at Hamfest's and for breakfast all the time. He will be truly missed. 73 es GB Dan. de WN3V SK

Dan was the best brother-in-law I could have ever asked for. He was kind, funny and always willing to lend a helping hand. I have many fond memories including family vacations, parties, family reunions , Pinochle games and bingo. Dan was a joy to be around and had a great smile. He has been a big part of my life for the past 53 years and he will be deeply missed. I had a running joke with him that he was always my favorite brother-in-law, after a few years of me saying this he stopped...
