Rita
My deepest sympathies on Danny´s passing. He was a charming and charismatic man, as I´m sure you know. I appreciated seeing him on his periodic visits to Dayton over the years and will be eternally grateful for the love he showed my family after my fathers passing. May his name forever be as a blessing.
