Danny was my favorite uncle. We shared alot in common, through art, design, love of NYC, and many fond childhood memories. We had a lot of long phone conversations, until he couldn't anymore. I pray his transition to be with the Lord God was fast & easy. He will be dearly missed, but now he is with so many who love him, that went before him. Love you always, Danny, RIP.

As a former employee at Dorothy Love, I have fond memories of Dan! He was a kind, caring generous man and brought the sunshine wherever it was needed. Very saddened to hear of his passing. Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord, and may his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace!

Dan was such a beautiful soul. I'll always remember him greeting me and others after church, having breakfast at Bob Evans with friends and giving flowers wherever he went. He was a very special man and will be missed by many.

The best thing I learned and shared with Dan is that it is most important to love the Lord with all your heart and to be kind to everyone. Dan was a very great friend, he will be missed. My heart goes out to his family. They will be in our prayers.
