From catholic grammar school onwards, through work, sports, music and so many areas he was a great ftiend. We kept in touch and when I was back home for several days I would try to see him. When I
grammar school onwards. He is I can count my true friends on the numbers of fingers I have.


You can't encapsulate a man like Danny with a paragraph or teo. I've tried this several several times.

Ive started this many times and know that several words cannot justify all that Danny was. At first I was struck by how much and the wholeness that Danny was to so many. And that would satisfy the premise of this for others, but this is very personal and perhaps why this requires much thought.

For now its best to state that he was a great, great friend that I miss now and who I'll miss for the rest of my days. Rest in peace my dear friend.

Danny is a loving, generous and selfless man. He helped his sister raise her boys and was the best uncle any kid could ever want. He will be greatly missed by his family, friends and beloved dog Wally who is now living with his sister Barbara. We all have another beautiful angel watching out for us.
