So sad to just now learn of Danny's passing. I have known him for over twenty years and although in the beginning, our relationship was only professional, we became good friends over the years. Danny was an excellent and dependable contractor who had numerous skills which enabled him to not only satisfactorily complete jobs, he could also easily visualize almost any proposed project. If something seemed difficult, he always seemed to figure out the correct answer. Danny was also very focused on community service with the goal of improving the town of Rainelle. In sum, I could always count on Danny as an honest friend who did not hesitate to go that extra mile. I will miss him greatly. Much sympathy to his wife, Diane and to his family.
