You will be deeply missed, I don't know of any better matches then you and Linda. I remember she was so excited for me to meet you that first time. I know you are together as always, will miss you both. Take care of my cousin...

I've grown to know Danny over the years both from personal interactions and through stories Linda would often share about her family. It became clear in the years I knew them both, that Danny was a loving man who adored his wife and family and was always supportive of others. His struggles were many and Linda often would share stories about their life together. Invariably, these stories exemplified Danny's courage, his love of family and his compassionate soul. And if the stories didn't convince you, meeting the man did. Danny, like Linda, will be missed by many. May God hold them in his loving embrace, and may He provide those of us that remain behind the peace we all seek.

i worked with Linda at Central Trust bank many years ago. Everyone loved her and everyone liked Danny. Jimmy, i see you have 3 children and i'm so glad you do. I'm sure they'll remember their grandma and grandpa in all the good ways.

When I was growing up Danny and Linda lived next door to my family. Danny had a body shop on Dixie Drive, but then went to work as a teacher at Patterson. I will never forget his first day as a teacher. I was leaving for school at the same time he was. Linda had him sit on the white bench in front of the house so she could take his picture. They were both laughing and it was clear Danny was a little nervous about his new endeavor. Linda brought over the polaroid she had taken and said "Doesn't he just look great?" That is how I will always remember Danny and Linda. Danny obviously did a great job over the years in his job at Patterson and I am sure will be remembered fondly by countless students. I remember him as a great guy to have as a neighbor. I am sure I am not the only one.

I'm so very sorry for your losses. I knew Danny in high school and we were friends. He was a wonderful person! Nothing can be said to lessen the pain you must be feeling. May God be with his family and friends.
