Diane,
I am very saddened by the news of Danny's passing. I only found out about it a few weeks ago through a Brother Martin alumni newsletter. Danny was a dear friend and companion during our time at St. Aloysius and LSUNO. I always thought that there would be time to renew old acquaintances after I retired. Please accept my heartfelt condolences.

When I was in the First District back in the 1970s, I remember the respect that we all had for Danny McMullen, who was in Internal Affairs at the time. He was a good man and a great police officer.
