A sweet, loving brother Danny was. I can remember standing at our front door on Adelaide St. waiting for my Dad and him to pull in driveway after him coming home from Vietnam. Many other memories of my older brother. You will be missed Dan and loved forever.

He was born on my 1st birthday. He always said it was the best birthday present I ever got. He was right.
