Our deepest sympathies! Our fondest memory of Danny was the CCC trip to Atlanta, when Danny & Shirley joined with many other CCC members to celebrate Angela's birthday at Morton's Steakhouse. It was such a nice surprise for her and she always remembers how kind Uncle Danny had been

Danny's leadership in community work is a shinning example of how we all should be learning from , contribute to build a better community. I served under him as his treasurer at the Sun Yat Sen Garden Society. I definitely learnt a lot from observing his style and dedication. Thanks Danny. You will be missed.

"May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand."

It is with much sadness that we heard of the passing of our good friend Danny.
We have known him for a long time as a volunteer for S.U.C.C.E.S.S. with which we are also closely associated. Danny initiated the very successful SUCCESS Charity Golf Tournament and chaired it for many years until last year.
We have also travelled several times with him and Shirley who were excellent travel companions.
The Gaw family has lost a loving father, a devoted husband and a great grandpa; the community has also lost a dedicated volunteer and a generous philanthropist!
Danny will always be remembered in our hearts and minds and may he rest in peace.
Our heartfelt condolences to the Gaw family!
