I have known Dan for more than 50 years. We worked together in many capacities at AM&A. He always shared his knowledge and insight. Dan was a wonderful, kind and compassionate man. In addition to working together, we became friends and remained so through the years. Each December 1st, I would call and sing Happy Birthday. Now the celebration is gone. Farewell dear friend -Holly

Mr. Danny - I remember you fondly. A kind, caring and soft spoken man. Always had a smile and a kind word whenever we met. Your presence in this world will be missed. May the river take you on your next journey and may the waters be kind.

Mr. Vacco, as I knew him, was a fun boss at AM&A's. Working with him brought me many fond memories. May he continue to keep laughing up in heaven.
