I had the pleasure of working with Dan at Providence College. He was a loyal friend who worked hard and loved life by using his extraordinary ability to make others laugh. By the of our 16 years of working I considered Dan as family. He realized life was precious and made several plans for his retirement! There will never be another Dan Byron

I worked with Danny at Providence College He was " one of a kind." A loyal and hardworking staff member in the IT Department Danny was always there to assist us with technical issues that arose. A humorous and interesting story teller, Danny had much to say and many times repeatedly. He will be missed especially by the students, faculty and staff he worked with at the College.

To the Byron Family,
Dan was such a good friend for many years with my late father Ernie and me, sharing many laughs on the golf course and at PC. He was always the life of the party and when you needed his support he would be there for you. Our prayers and sympathy are with you during this difficult time.
With Sympathy,
Steven Piscopiello and Family
