I remember Danny when I use to work at the Tax Office, next door was the barber shop. And Sal would leave the door open I can hear them talking, Danny was always laughing. I would laugh so much sometimes hearing their stupid guy jokes. All those years of hearing Sal, Danny, Anthony, there was always about 4 or 5 guys. That was a good time for me, listening to stupid guy jokes. So Norma my prayers are with you and your family.

Norma & children..... My thoughts & prayers are with you all. I hope all of you find "Peace" in knowing that Danny is home with the Lord now, and is no longer suffering.

It has been many years since I have seen all of you, even though Chuck has been in my life since I was 7 years old. Time just seems to slip away.

Love, thoughts & prayers.......

I remember Danny as a wonderful teammate and a hard worker. We had one hell of a wrestling team, and he was a very important part of it. I wish Norma and all of the family my warmest thoughts and prayers.
