To Danny and the family - my sincerest sympathy. Pee Wee and Walter loved to get together and talk Lone Star. Another is gone the way of the brewery. God bless you, Barbara (Gillig) Yanta, Victoria, TX

I salute you Sir, you were a Dear friend of my late Father and Mother. I never forget when seeing you when I was a young lad, how you would take the time to greet people. Your heart was loving and caring for all. Blessings to the family you left behind.
