My sister and I had the honor of knowing Danny when we worked for Rockwell International in Downey on the Shuttle Program. Danny loved photography and did some beautiful portraits of my sister & I for our parents the summer of 1981 that we still have to this day. RIP Danny.

Always a Hug and a BIG Smile. Danny was a wonderful, caring man with a big heart. Knowing and working with Danny at DCMA was a rewarding experience for us.

I first met Danny back in 1987. I was working at DCASMA Santa Ana and I would see him on a weekly basis. I was just a a 19-year-old mail clerk but Danny never treated me as 'just a mail clerk.' He would talk with me and genuinely be concerned at how my day was going. This was a man that cared... about everybody.
I truly believe that anyone that met Danny would tell you that he was a very sweet man... and that he made their life a better one for him having been in it.

We met Dan and his wife in 2008 while renting across the street for a short six months. "Dr. Dan" and I had so many wonderful talks ! He was an incredible man and we hit it off like long lost friends. He even called me after we moved "just to be sure we were O.K." Our sympathy goes out to Kitty and their family. God's Blessings
