Danny was our son Patrick's college roommate and supported Patrick joining delta tau delta at University of Dayton. he was a wonderful friend and helped our son through the various stresses of college life. we have many memorable Podz stories and we still smile over such an engaging and personable young man. we had many fun family weekends with the Podczerwinski family in Dayton and we never tire of hearing about the funny escapades of life in the fraternity. it was a moment in time.
