My condolences go out to Danny ' s family. I had him in several classes and we worked on a presentation together. I was so sad to hear of his passing. He was a wonderful person. He spoke of how much he loved his family. Specifically his wife and children. He touched many lives with his firey spirit, his love for life, his smile, determination and his desire to help others. He will be greatly missed. l am sending healing thoughts and love to all of those affected by his loss.
