Dear Dan, I drove him many a year, when at Care Cabs of Madison, and it was Always a pleasure. He was great. We were talking one day and he said he had an idea to "Stop accidents and make repairs on vehicles easier. Make Every part out of Rubber and color code them." Brilliant! Here we are today, and we actually do that! He was one of the good guys. God Bless him always.

I remember Danny from Randall School. There were three Danny's in our class in those years. We were all fiercely competitive boys and reveled in robust games of tackle pompom at recess. May your spirit rest now Danny.
