Deepest sympathy to Daniel's family - I (we) will miss Dan at the family gatherings where his presence, his wit and humor was enjoyed by many. He is a great son, brother, brother-in-law, nephew, uncle and friend - loved by many. Thank you for the years you gave us. - Alice Anderson

Julie and Family,
Although Dan was my brother Greg's friend, our family felt as though we knew him well. Whenever we met he was warm, caring, and interested in what we had to say. I ran into him at a homecoming game when my daughter Andrea was at Pius (1989-92)and he was as personable as ever! I'll never forget watching him wrestle at Pius. He was awesome! Please accept our sympathy at his sudden and unexpected passing. His life was too short, but he lived it well. He and your family will be in our prayers.

Danny,
You pushed all of us to be the athletes we were. You were a model and a leader. Even though we hadn't stayed close these past 36 years that push to excel has stayed with me. I'll miss you.

Danny, How can you be the first one of our close knit group of high school freinds to go? You are the one in the best shape. You are the one who's always there to help others. You are the one we'd all call when we needed your muscle. You are the one I could always count on. You never said no to me - you were always there when I needed you. Now you are gone and our group will never be the same again. We all love you and we miss your smiling face already.

Our hearts and are prayers are with your mom, your sisters and your brother.

We are all schocked at your passing and we mourn your death.

Love, Mary, Gary and Ryan Gannon
