Danny, your Dad gave me rides home with Paula from basketball practice during high school vacations. He was very nice. I am sorry to hear about his passing.

I went to 4 C's with Danny and Tom. Both you brothers were great guys. Probably 2 of the nicest guys we all hung out with, so I know by the way you were, your parents had to have been really good people. Sorry about your DAD.
