I am very saddened by the passing of my childhood friend: My sympathy goes out to the Murphy, De Bellis & Van Pelt Families: Danny & I went to St. Christopher & Bishop Watterson together, we all spent many fun hours playing together as children! Although I did not know his wife and/or children, Grandchildren I am quite sure he loved all of you unconditionally & was a wonderful Role Model. "Adios" Danny, until we meet again!
