To the Demonte Family,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Danny. Some of my fondess memories are of the time I spent with him - boating, golfing and best of all going to the theater together. He had such a kind and generous heart. It won't be the same without him.

Couldn't throw a dart to save his butt, certainly threw the B.S. with the best of them. Dan, the void you leave is as large as the number of souls you have touched. Rest in peace,
