Danny Proulx

I bought and read several of Danny's books this past year. His

knowlwdge and "ease of explanation"

benefited me greatly. I would have

liked to have met him someday. My

condolences to his family.

I met Danny through a course he was teaching at Algonquin college. He was a great person and I am very saddened. My deepest sympathies to his family.

I never met Danny but always hoped that I would. By all accounts, he was a wonderful person and a great woodworker. My sincere condolences to the family on your tremendous loss.

Danny was very confident and could make complicated subjects easy to understand. He had a gift for showing how things could be done by anybody. He supported the view that there is often more than one way to do something the right way. God Bless You Danny, I'm thankful I learned from you, and wish I had met you.

Mr. Proulx showed a novice woodworker like myself how to hone his passion. He made a positive impact in my life and I thank him for that. God bless.

I never did get to meet Danny but would have liked to. He shared his knowledge with each of us and will not be forgotten.

I am so sad to hear about the passing of Danny Proulx. He was my favorite teacher in the woodworking courses at Algonquin because he made everything fun and easy to learn. His friendly nature helped me rid my fear of math, although I still have troubles which he used to joke me about. I would always recommend him when asked which woodworking course to take - it will be difficult to replace him. My sincerest condolocenses to his family & friends.

My sincere condolences on the loss of your husband. Our prayers are with you. (Tammy Jones Auntie).

My sympathy to the family. Danny helped my business so much with his common sense and books and magazines articles he authored.

Danny was the rarest of people. Someone who was incredibly knowledgeable and expert in his field, who at the same time was tremendously humble and polite in all of his interactions. I enjoyed working with Danny over the years as editor of CabinetMaker magazine, but I even more enjoyed our friendly interchanges about the trials and tribulations of small woodworking businesses. His responses were always insightful and down to earth. My profound condolences to his family. Danny's passing is a tragic loss to the entire woodworking community.

Our deepest condolences for your loss. Danny will always be with us though because he left hundreds of aspiring cabinetmakers with inspiration, especially this one.

I thank God for being blessed by Danny. May God bless and keep you through this difficult time.

Please accept my deepest condolences for your great loss. Danny touched the lives of so many and he will continue to be a positive force in our lives.

To the family and friends of Danny:



It is with great sadness that we come here today to share in our loss of a great contributor to the woodworking industry that he loved so dear. We are comforted to know that he has left his mark and the world truly is a better place because of his contributions.

Danny has inspired and guided many, I being one of them. He has left a great legacy. His presence will be missed.

I am truly sorry for your loss. I will be keeping your family in my prayers. Mr. Proulx books have been an tremendous help to me in restarting my cabinet business after I lost my job earlier this year due to a change in administration in our state government.

Having worked as a state consultant; I have referenced and recommended his books many times, and now they are helping me support my family and home through their ideas, assistance, guidance, and encouragement. Though I never met your husband, I owe him a great deal. I know you are proud of him. He has truly left a wonderful legacy.God bless you and keep you in your time of loss. He will be missed greatly by many.

To Gale and family, Our deepest condolences on Danny's death. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Mary-Lea, Brent and Tricia Chaters

I had the pleasure of being one of Danny's students at Algonquin College during 2003. He was an inspiration and an amazing source of knowledge. My condolences to his family and loved ones. He was a great person.

It was sad indeed to hear of such a lost. Danny was a great supporter of our fledging Ottawa Woodworker association. He was a friend, a mentor, an inspiration to us all. He will be sadly missed.

My deepest condoleances.

I met Danny at the Ottawa Woodworking Association. He was always willing to explain and answer questions no matter how simple they were. His friendly nature and enthusiasm were enjoyed by everyone and will be soarly missed.



In the stories he told and the stories told about Danny it is clear he put his mark on the World to make it a better place.



My condolances to your family and wish you all the best in celebrating Danny's life.

We pray that God may provide some peace during this difficult time for you. Thank you for having shared Danny with us.

Hello,



I wish to pass along my sincere condolances and all my prayers to you today. To loose a great man in a family is very hard, for us all to loose a great soul is equally hard.

You have given so much to so many. You will be forever missed.

My condolences to Gale and all of Danny's family. I just finished my first kitchen job and Danny walked me through the entire process. I left a hidden note dedicating the kitchen to Danny's memory. I really enjoyed installing a kitchen with Danny just a couple of weeks ago; I'm glad I had that opportunity. I will miss him.
