Dear Gaylene and family-
I was so sorry to hear about Danny. I remember when I was young and he would come and visit my dad; he always had a smile on his face and some wise crack or joke to tell. I'm sorry I was unable to come to the services, I would have liked to see you. I hope the memories of Danny help ease the pain of losing him. My dad always spoke highly of him and you. He will be missed by all. Love, Brigitte (Mel Standerfer's daughter)

Gaylene - I was so sorry to hear of Danny's passing. May the good memories of your 44 years together help you and Gaylene thru this most difficult time. It's been a long time since our kids were at All Hallows. I would love to hear from you when you are ready. I am dealing with a memory disease with Ron. Sincerely - Sandi (McCoy) Redding

What a character! And soooo handsome! Your funny birthday cards every year will be truly missed. I loved you like a brother and always got a kick out of your antics and stories. Looks like I'm not the only one that will remember you and your potato gun with a smile in my heart. Rest peacefully and God Bless to your beautiful and loving wife, daughter and family. We will miss you Danny.

To Gay and Little Gay: Danny was a great man and he is greatly missed. I can remember coming out to your place when I was kid and riding the pony, but staying as far away from Socks as you could because you didn't want to get bit. No matter how long between visits with him and dad.....it was like they had just seen each the day before. He was always there for dad, as dad was there for him. Though I can't be there in person, know that you are in my prayers. You know he's looking down on all of...

To Gaylene & Gaylene,
We are so very sorry for your sudden loss of Danny. We are also very blessed, though, for our life-long friendship with Danny and with your families. He was a great guy who was always there when you needed him, a loyal and dependable friend. And I can't think of anyone else who has or had his great love of jokes and pranks--- I think that Maycee only knew him as "Donald Duck" for years...:-) He will surely be missed by all of his family and friends.
