Loved Danny (Coach) not only the coach but a good friend!!!!!!

Deepest sympathy to you Joanne and the whole Sullivan family!!!!

Our sympathy to you, Joanne, and the family. Dan was certainly a sports figure in our area and beyond. I can't imagine the number of young people whose lives he touched.
