I'm so sorry to hear of Danny's passing. He was a classmate of mine in the class of 1952. He was always so considerate and fun to know. My sympathy is with all of you.

Dan, It has been my great pleasure to have worked with you at the West Springfield Home Depot this past year and a half. And while I never got to know very well, I've enjoyed the conversations we have had. Such a kind and dignified gentleman in a world where such virtues are sorely lacking. I consider myself very fortunate to have made your acquaintance, Dan. God bless and keep you always.
