Sorry for your loss guys! Some good Danny memories for me would include taking me on the "Zipper" ride at the Winona carnival when I was finally tall enough, and keeping me from freaking out as we turned upside down continuously! Having to listen to Danny explain why the Cowboys are the greatest team of all time! Trying to teach me boxing moves and weight lifting with my new weights and bench. Fishing and water skiing on Prior Lake and laughing histericly when he would have the driver of the boat make fast turns forcing me to fall so he could see how far I would skim over the water before finally stopping (not to mention all the water I would inhale). Danny definitely loved to laugh! Uncle Ed

Cousin Dan is pictured in the middle of his Uncle Mike and Uncle John. I have a wonderful memory to have a table sitting with you and our family talking about our memories of loved ones present and past. We will keep you in our hearts and our memories of the love you carried in your heart for life. And the love you gave to everyone you met and known.
