Earlier today

I only knew Danny for a short time, but had a sense of his dedication and love for all the work Uncle Pete´s ministry does. He will be missed. My thought and prayers are with his family.

Dan Clifford

Earlier today

Have only gotten to know Danny over the last few years working for Uncle Pete´s Mission at St John Brebeuf Church. I always enjoyed my interaction with him full of humor, Chicago Catholic school nostalgia (always funny), and a willingness to help out even when it was not his responsibility. I will miss not seeing him when I am there.

To Danny´s family and close friends please accept my condolences. May he rest in peace with the Lord.
