The the family of Danny. My family will miss him so much as he became a friend to all of us as we stopped to visit him in Walmart. It is just not the same without him. My prayers are with your family at this sad time. My husband finally got to know Danny and would laugh with him and joke with him. We will miss him terribly. Kathy Miracle and Family

Will miss Danny's smile at the door of Wal-Mart. He was one of the great things about shopping there. It just won't be the same.

Patty, Im so sorry I just found out about Danny. He was so special to me and my family. Always wanted to know how the kids where doing even after they grew up. You and Danny was there when we needed someone and after. God Bless you and you are in my prayers. I will miss him.

For the last five years, I've been popping into Wal-Mart for last minute items, and Danny was almost always there to greet me when I came through the doors. On one occasion, the Madison Two fire department was there, wheeling him out, because he had had a stroke. "I'll be praying for you!" I said to him as they took him away. I would have my kids pray for him also. He was just a kind, gentle, quiet man who was a joy to see & joke around with (he would ask if I had drove the bus there). I always looked for him if he wasn't at the door, just to see if he was doing okay. I had even introduced my husband and kids to him, he was so nice. We are all so truly sorry, and will be in much prayer.

Mrs Storts. I dearly loved Danny. I always look for him when I went to Walmart. We would have a quick visit trading a little humor and have a giggle. I was so shocked to hear of his passing, he will be sorely missed, I am just heart broken. God bless you and your family.

Patty, I met you one time at Walmart and you are a very nice lady. Danny was my friend and he made my time at Wal-Mart (when I worked there about 3 years ago)a joy!! Danny could always make me laugh and forget about whatever may have been bothering me at the time. I am really going to miss my friend and Wal-Mart will NEVER be the same. You hold strong and remember God has Danny now, he is in excellent hands!!!

It is amazing how people touch our lives just through casual repetitive meetings. Danny was so special. He was always happy and jovial. While I rarely saw him outside of Walmart, I feel that he was my friend. My frequent trips to pick up the odds and ends of my life will never be the same. Rest in peace, Danny. Godspeed.
