Although I don't know Dan or his family, his death tugs at my heart. Words simply can't express the sorrow I feel for Connie and both families. My thoughts and prayers are and have been with you all for the past 2 weeks. As someone once told me, some days the pain is just too deep for words, but I'm sure Dan's watching over you all and sending you the strength you'll need to get through the coming weeks, months and years. God Bless you all!

Working at Gold's Gym in Everett is where I first met Dan. I didn't know Dan that well but the more that I did get to know him the more I grew to respect and admire him. I remember he was very excited about going on that "special" cruise with his girlfriend because he was finally going to make the jump and propose to the woman that he loved. He was very funny in a cool sarcastic way. He was an all around "nice guy" who will be missed but never forgotten. I feel thankful to have known him even if it was for such a short time. My heart, thoughts and prayers sincerly go out to his family, his fiance, his friends and the Revere Police Department.

To Danny's family, Connie & fellow officers and friends, please accept my deepest sympathy. I have known Danny since the sixth grade. He used to pretend that he could fly and would attempt to fly outside during recess time. Unfortunately, he was taken away much too soon from a life that was only getting more and more wonderful each day! Now, I guess he really does know how to fly becuase he is already looking down on all of you and missing you just as much as you miss him. Thinking of all of you during this time.
