Dan was one of my dearest boyhood friends. We shared many happy times together, including our trip to the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Florida, many nights at Hampton Beach, and double dating with Connie and Sally. I was also proud that Dan served as an usher in our wedding party. I last saw Dan at our 50th LHS class reunion, and I will always cherish that memory. Connie and I offer our deepest condolences to the entire McCarthy family

Danny always made me laugh. In fact he would charm my mother every time he saw her. I am very sad for his loved ones that he passed away. May his memory be eternal.
RIP Danny
