To the McCarthy Family, I could still hear Danny laughing and see him dancing. That was the Danny we all knew and loved. Knowing, working, and being friends with Dan was something that I will never forget. My prayers are with all of you.

To Mike,Pinky and the whole McCarthy Family.

I was horrified today to hear from Jack about Danny’s death. I cannot imagine the sorrow of such a loss to all of you. My heart goes out to you. May God grant you consolation and Danny freedom for his pain and the glory of an afterlife. We will be remembering you in our prayers at the Monday night meeting. I am sorry that I did not have the chance to grieve with you at St.Judes. Condolences from all your old friends are sent to you with our prayers. May we all meet again in a blessed happiness. King

RIP Danny..fly high fly free..you will never be forgotten.

Even though our friendship was brief, I had many good times with Danny and I learned a lot from him. He taught me not to take the bad things in life so seriously. I will never forget him and the bond that we had.

I especially want to say this to his sons: Your father was a wonderful man and loved you dearly. He talked to me all the time about how much fun he had with you. Please, don't ever forget your memories of him.

My family, and especially my parents, Nancy and Richard, want to extend their condolences as well.

Danny may be gone, but he will never be forgotten in the minds of those he touched.

Dear McCarthy Family...We were sad to hear of your loss. Danny was a good friend to our kids and he spent a lot of time at our house. It is not fair for parents to loose a child...We lost our son Jimmy 2-1/2 years ago and it doesn't seem right. But just knowing that he was only lent to us by God for a time and it was his time to go back to his home. The tears will always come with thoughts of Danny but he is in a safe place now.

To The McCarthy Family, I'm sorry to hear of your loss. Danny will be in my heart & prayers always. May God Bless your family and keep you strong.

Danno- you will be missed, there will never be another like you!
It will be the little things that you will remember, the quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter. And although it may seem hard right now, it will be the memories of these little things that help to push away the pain and bring back smiles again.
