Deepest sympathy to Danny's family. Danny and I were friends as teens. He knew my boyfriend at the time. He was a really great guy. The day all of Vineland went to Woodstock, I stayed to keep open the little hamburger place Windy's open. Danny and I spent the afternoon talking about life. When I tried to run away from home I walked to Danny's house to hide for the afternoon. He will be missed. RIP Rose Layton
