On behalf of the Class of 1966 of Franklin Heights High School, I would like to express our sorrow at Danny's passing. We always enjoyed catching up with him at our gatherings and will miss him at our picnic this summer. During our years there, he was a dedicated member of the school band, and a guy who always worked to do well for the school.
