He is survived by his loving wife and caregiving angel, Sheri; two brothers, Charles and his wife Anna Lee and Arnold and his wife Carol; step-daughters, Natalee London and her husband Jason and their son Micah and Marcy Wallis and her family; and step-son, Josh Oller.

My Pharmacy career started in late 1962 when I started working for Ben at Clinton Pharmacy and you had the duty to teach me how to drive the little delivery car with a mortar and pestle on the roof. Oh we had fun then getting Ben's meals from his mom, doing the deliveries in the neighborhood, driving his various cars to keep them fresh. From that start, we have been friends thru the years; although our visits have been infrequent of late. Rest those tired bones, Danny-you deserve our thanks.
