Danny, you will truly be missed. You were always unique and had a great way of looking at life. I will miss the talks we had and the wisdom you shared - one of life's greatest ironies is we don't seem to "get it" until we are dealt real hardship and god knows you had your share. It made you a better man and I am proud to say you were a friend. The only solace in your passing is that your suffering is over. God bless and rest peacefully.

Karen and family I want to send my heartfelt sympathies to you all. I loved Uncle Danny as so many people did. He was one of the sweetest most gentle and kind men I have ever met. He will be deeply missed by everyone who knew him and loved him.

I'm sure you know how much I hurt right now at the thought of never seeing you're smiling face again... but knowing you're not in pain anymore, that you're with grandma and aunt Pat, uncle John and our beautiful Kathy again brings me a huge amount of comfort. I am grateful you were such a huge part of my life... I love you with all my heart. Stay gold Ponyboy... ?
