Raymond Louis Danner Sr.

As a youngster in Nashville, I caddied for Mr. Danner and my Dad, Eli White @ Richland C.C. He treated everyone with courtesy and kindness. He helped so many people over the years realize what they could achieve by hard work, positive attitude and good thoughts. Over the years, I have exampled him to others as what a man can achieve if he only applies himself. Mr. Danner will never ever be duplicated..To have known him was a blessing. RIP RLD............

My thoughts and Prayers are with you guys!

Mr. Danner was one of the finest men I have ever known. I was so sad to hear of his death. He was a great man, a great business partner and a great friend to our family. There is no way to ever know how many lives he has touched in his lifetime. He will be missed.
