Danny was a devoted teacher with a career spanning 16 years. He taught math at Cardigan Mountain High School in Canaan, N.H.

Peggy,
I am very sorry to hear about Danny. What an accomplished life of teaching and helping others.
I fondly remember the Indian Lake days, when Danny, David and Ricky taught us "little kids" about nature. Catching lizards, frogs, fish, learning to swim and hike are my best childhood summer memories. I wish I had the opportunity to hear Danny play the fiddle.
My deep sympathy.

Dan was a great guy and married to a wonderful woman. I have great memories of playing our fiddles together in the NH Fiddle Ensemble! I will miss him and his seemingly never ending humor on FaceBook! Rest easy Dan.

I have some wonderful memories of Mr. Fedor from my childhood. One that sticks out most prominently is when he would surprise us during a sleepover with a giant plate of anti pasta in the middle of the night. Nothing hit quite like the plate of anti pasta (and cold Evan's Pizza) at 11pm after you've been outside running around in the snow with the guys keeping the neighbors up... :) Thank you for the countless times you let us stay over
