Everytime I see those Cinncinati Bengals play on Sunday afternoon, I think of those unbelievable years of Danny in that uniform,catching all those passes thrown his way,never dropping anything from QB Kenny Anderson on that Super Bowl Sunday. We were all so proud of him that special day with his 11 catches that still has never been broken,(tied but not broken).We all miss you @ NU more as a great person then as the great player you were and thank you for those proud memories on and off that field.Peace and love to Joanny,Danny jr and Jillian during this 1st difficult holiday season without Dan

Dan,
You always had a smile and a nice thing to say to the likes of me and my friends at EHS regardless of whether we were jocks or not.I did not know you as well as some but I knew that you were genuine and sincere and I will miss you much.

Auntie Joan, Jilly, Danny and the rest of the family,
Uncle Dan was the best person anyone could have known. I never heard anyone say a bad thing about him. I always think about him and you guys and I miss him so much, more and more everyday. I remember in 3rd grade when everyone was bringing in 2 dollar bill or their hampster for show and tell, I brought in a former NFL player and hero, my Uncle Dan. Kids to this day still talk about how cool it was to have met him and still have his signed football cards on their desks. It doesn't make sense to any of us, but who better to have up there than a 6'4'' iron giant to protect us and God.... I'de say there isn't one. I'll always be "Pea Head" I guess but only to Auntie and Uncle, the best there is. Jilly and Danny, I love you guys so much and whenever you need anything I PROMISE I can always be there. Auntie Joanie, the toughest lady out there... everyone looks to you to be strong, but if you need a break you can always talk to me.... I love you guys more than anything in the world, I am so sorry. I love you Uncle Dan, always will, keep an eye on us. Can't wait to see you again.
Love,
Your cousin and Neice and "Pea Head"
Aleah

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

"TOSS IT TO ROSS"
I'll never forget the day Anthony let us paint that phrase on his store. This was a day I'll never forget. Danny Ross is going to the Super Bowl.We stood in the park and sing,'d "Who they think gonna beat those Bengals, Who'd they?". Anthony would tell us that Artie said his brother is coming home this week and we'd stand around everyday waiting for that black Regal with the sun roof to come around the corner to be the first to greet him. I really don't know what to say. There really isn't anything to say. Yes, there is one thing left to say , "Any person that has been fortunate to meet Danny Ross is and always will be very FORTUNATE to have been able to meet a TRUE GENTLEMAN. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Ross and Hart Family's. Artie and Sue I'm so very sorry... TC

To Joan, Kids and Family. Everett was always a city of families. Danny represented the very best in our city and our teams. As an athlete he was in a class by himself. As a gentleman he was admired by all. We are all better for having known Dan. He will be missed.

As a kid growing up in the Cherry Street projects I can tell you that Danny was a hero and a positive role model for many young kids. After all he had accomplished he was still just a regular guy. It must help a little bit to know just how well loved Danny was in Everett and elsewhere. My condolences to the Ross and Hart families. Bob Crafts.

I was truly shocked and dismayed to hear of Dan's passing. Although I have not seen or spoken Dan in many years, I feel a great personal loss. I have talked to others across the county about this and what is remarkable is that all people from Everett have Danny Ross memories...and all of these memories are positive and good. Danny will continue to live in all of us.

Dear Joanie and family, My mother called to tell me of Dan's passing and I felt such sadness. I knew Dan in High School. I'd often see him with the other guys hanging around Glendale Park or the Rec center. Dan was always so thoughtful and a true gentleman- even in his teens. When he was playing football against San Diego Carol(Parisi)Panarese and I went to see him. There was Dan- greeting us after the game- just moments after being knocked around by a bunch of 250 pounders- as sweet and friendly as ever. I know he will be missed by many. I am just sorry that I cannot be there personally to pay tribute to such a wonderful man. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

To all the Ross and Hart Family,
I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear of the loss of Dan. I only knew Dan in a modest way, as an Everett resident and related to several of his friends. Dan was one heck of a guy. Fame never tainted him and he treated all around him with genuine graciousnes. Dan will be sorely missed.

Joanie, Jilly and Danny,
I cant put into words how sad I was to hear that Big Danny had passed. What an amazing man he was and will continue to be in memory. In my mind I think of Big Danny as just that, "Big"; his presence was always known as that of a hero and mentor to many. I will hold all the memories we shared at Lake Winnipesaukee and during the holidays so very dear to my heart. I guess the saying stands true...Only the Good Die Young. My thoughts , prayers and LOVE are with all of you right now. Jilly, I am Forever and Always here for you. I love you all.

I haven't seen Danny since the high school days at EHS(74), and hanging around at Glendale Park and the Rec. I followed his college and NFL careers and kept up on him through the years through mutual close friends. I sent him a telegram following the Superbowl telling him that he made me proud to be from Everett. He still does.
Donna Fitzgerald

My condolences to the family. I was a classmate of Danny's and although I haven't seen him in years, I was deeply moved by his passing. He has left a mark on everyone's life that he has touched.

Dear Ross, Baldacchino, White, Stevenson and Hart Family,
I know that living so far away I will someday receive a phone call that no one ever wants to get, but to receive this one from my brother Steven is beyond comprehension.

We were shocked and heartbroken to have learned of Dans passing. Dan has always been our "HOMETOWN HERO" here in Everett. We were all so proud to see a kid from Everett have the success and accomplishments that Dan had in college and professional football. More importantly, Dan was a Great Man!! Friend to Many!! and Respected by everyone that he came into contact with!! Someone mentioned that Dan had the stature of a John Wayne and I couldn't agree more. Dan will always remain in our hearts and our thoughts.
Please accept our sincerest condolences.

It doesn't make sense. I didn't really know Dan. Why am I having such a hard time holding back tears. It's amazing how someone you barley know can have such an impact on your life. His story has always been such an inspiration to me, and the tributes here confirm that he was even greater than I knew. I wonder if he knew the impact he had on people like me. After reading these tributes I am even more isnpired by his record as a human being.
May 19, 2006

I was terribly shocked to hear about the untimely death of Danny. Such great memories of Cherry St.and down the Cape with Danny and everyone. He was respected and admired by all. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dan was a class act. I graduated with him, and nobody, but nobody ever had a bad word to say about him. I remember working in a pet shop when Dan came in to buy aquariums for his kids, and he was so happy to be doing that. Kids, you had a great dad, and he will always watch over you. God takes the good ones first sometimes, and He has plans for Dan upstairs. God Bless the Ross family

Joanie and the entire Ross family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Danny will surely be missed by all. I’ll always cherish the time we spent together with the kids throughout their years in the Saugus sports system ( Little League, Pop Warner, Town Team Basketball). Danny was a great role model to the kids and he was truly a positive influence on each and every one of them. I’ll also remember him as good friend, coaching companion, and golf buddy, first tee time Saturday mornings (4:30 AM) at Hickory Hill. He always had a smile and a good word for his friends. I feel very lucky to have had Danny as a friend and for my family to be friends with the Ross family. I know the strength and love within your family will surely help comfort you.

Dokey, Artie and Family -- Your loss is truly a tragedy, but take comfort in knowing the number of lives Dan touched and the inspiration that he provided to the youth (and not so youthful) of Everett. Dan proved that hard work and perserverence can overcome any obstacle.
No doubt his children, nieces, nephews, and others would have been further served by Dan's presence, but his mark is inked indefinitely in the lives he touched.
With warm regards,

I'm very sorry for your loss. I met Dan at Glendale Park in May 1988 while he was running windsprints. We talked about his playing career at North Eastern & the NFL. Although we only spoke for about 10-15 mins. I got the impression that he was a kind and caring man. My thoughts are with you.+
