I worked for Mr. Hayes at Good Times back in the late 90's while going to college. He always seemed like a straight shooter, quiet guy who was loved by many. The legacy of GTB and Mr Hayes will live on forever.

I met Danny in 2003 when I was doing promotions for Flag Football Magazine. Good Times was a sponsor. Danny and I remained friends for years, my friends and I would visit him in Daytona every time that we went down for bike week or the 500.

Danny is one of the most generous, kind and thoughtful man who always saw the best in everyone. He loved his family, and was good to his friends. He will be missed.

My thoughts go out to his family at this time. He always had so many kind words to say about his daughters whom he adored.

All the best to Debbie and Denise.
