Daniel Keith "Danny" Pickett

My deepest condolences, and I´m very sorry for posting this so late.

I knew Danny back in the 1960s when he lived on Chetwood in Del City. We shared many great days and summers playing together-so many wonderful memories. Danny came over often. One day, when we were bored he picked up my violin and started playing it like a guitar. I gathered up some boxes and played them as if they were drums. We named ourselves DanTom Productions and recorded several songs. Somewhere in my storage, I still have that cassette tape.

Every time I listen to it, it brings back so many funny moments and laughter. Danny will always be remembered for the joy and creativity he brought into my life.

I meet Danny back in the mid 70s working at UNARCO making grocerie baskets. He has been one of my best friends since. My cousin and myself had dirt bikes that we rode at draper trails. We planned to go ride at nite with flash lights on the bike and on helmet. Danny said he wanted to go. We rigged up my bike so he could ride on the back. We crashed so many times, one of the more crazy and fun things we ever did. I didn't know this was going to start Danny's life with motorcycles. I love Danny and will miss him and his laughter, but knowing he is a Christian, I look forward to seeing him again.

I have many great memories of Danny and I hanging out at Monroney Junior High School. Used to sing "Bridge over Troubled Waters and other Simon and Garfunkel songs in 8th grade...sounded terrible but we had fun. I´m a better person for knowing Danny.

Great get together a couple of years ago. Danny always made it more fun!

Danny back in the `70´s. Such a great guy!!!!

My condolences to Danny´s family. I met Danny when I was a probation and parole officer. He was a friend to everyone. He had a calm presence while performing his job duties and a comedic ability during social events. He will be missed.
