Danny Dark

Dad, you are as much a part of our daily thoughts now as you would be if you were still here. So many things remind of you! You would love your great-granddaughter, Lily. Sydney has taken her art career to a whole new level and you would be so proud. Sandra is wonderful and so is Jonas. Thinking of you and Lizzie, happy in heaven together.

When I delivered my daughter I remember while I was in the hospital, seeing an interview of you on TV and your amazing work. I also remember the feeling of warmth and calm it gave me as I was recovering from a C Section delivery. What a velvet voice! I had a wonderful career as a studio singer and one day soon after that I met you at Bell Sound-and had the chance to ell you about that experience. You gave me the warmest smile. Some things we just never forget.

Dear Caroline & Other of Danny's Family,

Many, many happy memories are still so frequently evoked when thinking of Danny, and how his "pocket full of laughter and humor" resonate today, with the same clarity as they did in 1957 when we first met.

Danny's passing 17 years ago at the too young age of 65 has deprived many of us the joy and wonderment of a truly wonderful, talented and loving human being..

Danny was a very, very special friend and...

Danny was one of the sweetest persons I had the pleasure of having in my life. He was appreciative for all that was done for him. and a very Dapper Dude.

One of the most pleasant times I can recall was spending a "boys" weekend with him and Chuck Blore at La Costa. A great bonding experience, with two wonderful friends.

Keeks, Keekaline, Corky, Corky-sue, Corky-Sue-Jean-Jan-Jane-June-Jones (yes, that was all ONE nickname!), Horse biscuits , and the Senator..... there are many more! You had nicknames for everybody. That was your way of celebrating the people you loved. I miss you.
I have kept every single note you put on my car when I would park in front of your house as a student at UCLA - telling me to stop in before going home. Terrence - I love you. One of your parents (oh yeah, Terrence was another...

Thank you for the wonderful memories! You were and still are the greatest voice to ever grace television!

Just had our 75th Birthday reunion from Central class of "57. Really miss you Danny. Just not the same without you. Denny was Elvis and I was Marilyn Monroe. You would have been right in the middle of Chuck and Bill as they sang our "favorite songs. Your laugh, smile and always your note to me after the
reunion. You were and will always be a blessing in my life.

Dear Danny,

You have been in my memory bank now, nearly daily, for the past ten years- and it is still not the same without you here. But 57 years when we first met in college? Unbelievable! Then again, as Willie Nelson laments, "..ain't it funny how time slips away?". How remarkably true, and your passing is but another reminder of just how disruptive death is for the living.

Thank you again, however, for so many wonderful, joyous and happy times, years...

I love you, Danny and miss you everyday.
