Not sure what to say?

You were a great brother in law and a great friend. We shared a lot of laughs and it was great to know you had my back. I remember the last time I saw you at the cafe, we hugged, laughed and did some catching up. I didn't know that was the last time I would see you and it breaks my heart, but I will add it to my many happy and fond memories I have of you. My sons adored their Uncle Boone, thank you for always watching out for them, and keep doing that from the heavens, if you will! I love you...

Art, Shirley, John and Chucky and rest of Well's Family our deepest condolences to all of you may Danny rest in peace and your hearts heal quickly with the good memories you all have with your brother Boone.

He was a cornerstone at IHS. Will be missed by a LOT of alumni. I remember him in the skunk mascot outfit. :) He was so much fun!
May he rest in Peace. My condolences to Art and Shirley and the family. You will be in my prayers.

Danny was one of a kind, very special person whose heart was filled with love & kindness. My memories of him cruising around the IHS track on his cart during the American Cancer Society Relay for Life is the best ever. His generous, kind nature is something we should all strive for. Thanks to his family for sharing Danny with our community. God Bless. Ms. Marty Moses, ACS

I'm amazed at all the love from all over our great nation. I'm not surprised, just amazed. Danny is a legend. I'm proud to have had the opportunity to know and work with him. God bless his family and I know how proud you are!

Danny "Boone" Wells - what a kind and generous soul. Your dedication to your job, the community, and our area youths was second to none. Without a doubt, you have positively impacted the lives of many. I hope and pray that you knew this and how appreciated you were. A true "Hall of Famer" in many ways.

To the Wells Family,
I am so very sorry. May the blessings of God bring you comfort and peace.
With sincere condolences,

He was a great teacher and coach of the game. many great memories of coach wells at syracuse basketball camp. you will be missed.

Sincerest condolences to all in the Wells family... you have not only lost a beloved brother and uncle...but the basketball world has lost a wondeful coach and mentor. I first met Danny in 1978 when he came up to Canada to coach at summer Camp... the beginning of a life-long friendship and the spread of the "Boone Shuffle" across Ontario basketball courts! A great friend, a caring Coach and a true gentleman. He will be missed.

You are all in our thoughts and prayers during this time. May your memories be a source of comfort to all of you. Love, Joe, Sharon & Michael Renda
