When our family first moved to Pennock Avenue in the late 50's the first people I met were Dave Cleary and Danny Clancy. We remained good friends throughout our school years eventually all enlisting in the Marine Corps and going our seperate ways. I will never forget the great times we had together. He was a good and honorable man who served his country with honor and distinction. My condolences to his family.
