Danny, you remain in my thoughts to this day. Still hard to believe you're gone. We had a lot of great laughs together. From time to time, I run in to Denise at St. Joseph's Church, in the West End, and we get to reminisce about all those great years at Dapper Dan's. Knowing you, I'm sure you're up there and having a good time for yourself. Dan (Dano) Ferullo 7/8/2019

Denise,
I was at St. Joseph's for the 12:10 Mass today (Monday, 8/3)and heard the Mass was being said in memory of Danny. I looked for you, thinking you might be there, but didn't see you. It was a wonderful service, and a wonderful opportunity to say a prayer for Danny.
Best wishes,
Dano

Our deepest sympathies go out to Denise and the Kallis family. This news came as such a shock to us. We have so many great memories of Danny, especially at Dapper Dan's. You are with God now, Danny, and may you rest in peace.

My condolences to the Kallis Family. I remember the Rosebud well. My husband (rip) Aaron was an entertainer who performed at private parties and clubs throughout Somerville,MA in 1980-2012 so we frequented both establishments throughout the timeframe mentioned many many times. So sad to hear of Me Kallis' passing. Keeping the family in my thoughts and prayers. God bless...
