I'm so sad to hear of Danny's passing. The memories I have of Danny are so great. He was so much fun! We dated our junior yr. in school, so I know about that fast trash truck. LOL He was always the debonaire gentleman and oh so dashing. I see by his picture that he still has those same good looks that he did when he was sixteen. oooooooo...k Remember him saying OK, that way? My prayers are with all his family.

Danny was a great friend. I hate that we lost track of each other over the years. So many great memories! Ever seen a 16 year old, late for a date, driving a trash truck 75 mph? I have! So sorry to hear of his passing. My prayers to all who loved and will miss him.
