Man, do I miss my "godbrother" (Danny coined the phrase). He was such a good friend to me. He brought true delight...sometimes a little exasperation to go along with it! I still can hear his squeals of joy. So grateful for the time we had. May his memory continue to be a blessing to all who loved him.

He made me laugh...wow could we laugh. We made a movie together about his disabilty..and being friends, even then he was already advocating and fighting for the rights of the disabled- he was determined to be "able", and taught the students to ask, not stare, to not treat him any differently..

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
Humankind has lost a true champion. Will miss you Dan.

A truly amazing young man who believed in himself regardless of some personal problems and was able to accomplish more than many of us. It is not a talent we are born with so he must have learned something from his mother,father, brothers and sisters--------or maybe we will learn something from him.

To the entire Moran family:
Marcie and I send our thoughts, prayers and condolences in your time of grieving and loss. May God comfort you and give you peace in this time of sorrow. I didn't see Danny much (at the Moran b-day parties I crashed), but he was always fun to be around. Bob Dobrowolski
