Danny Boy,
I was just thinking about you the other day. I miss that raspy voice of your's. We were friends for years hitting the night just about every night. I'll never forget the fist time I went to a Hawks game, it was with you, you bought the ticket. What a blast! It never mattered to you if I had the money to go out when I was having hard times, you covered it just to share in the good times together. When I sold my drums and went to Eastern and came back, you push me back into playing music again, lent me your drums and we started the band with Murff, Buiss and the rest of them. Now I'm in a christian band for the past 13 years playing Worship. Who would have thought. Thank you my friend, my brother for being just that, a friend and a brother. Still in my heart. I love you my brother. By the way, I just lost another best friend and brother Friday to a car crash. Say hi to him for me his name is Richard Medeiros

Good-Bye My Love
It just seems like yesterday that we were together yet its been a month since you passed. I think of you constantly and I find it difficult to think of life without you - but I know life goes on. No matter what path I take you will always be walking at my side - you taught me so much and brought so much love and happiness to our lives. You and I were together through it all and will be forever - both in life and death. I will always hold in my heart how much you loved me - you expressed that everyday all the way until the end. Hockey season is right around the corner (and I know you will be with me at every game!) put a good word into the hockey gods for us - and remember the one thing I will hold dear forever is our love for each other. Missing you always from this day forward. With all my love -
The One & Only "Bean"
I MISS YOU VERY MUCH.

Daniel,
One month ago today...my world changed forever. My days begin and end with a prayer to you. I know you're looking down on all of us. When I look up at the brighest star, I see your smile shining through. I will never forget you. R.I.P.

Honey - you were in my life for 20 years - you will be in my heart forever. I miss seeing your face and hearing your voice everyday. My life has changed forever - since you will no longer be a part of it - who am I going to talk to about hockey, music and life? - YOU of course - but in a different way. Missing you everday - LOVE YOU FOREVER!!!!

"Doc" Dan, my friend and buddy,
We were introduced through Wayne Purdy.A very close friend to us both.In a short time we shared an earned "respect"for each other. For the Loyalty, the Intelligence,and of course the Humor. I cherish it truly. We always had a Smile to share with each other.
"Smile For Me, There.
As I Smile For You, Here.
Like Each Time We Met,Here.
We Had A Smile That We Shared. I'll Miss Sharing Your Smile Here.
Until We Meet Again And Share That Smile, There."
Love,
Angel

I went to high school with Dan back in the 70's and saw him at a concert just two weeks ago! He sat with my wife & I. This is a total shocker, but I feel very fortunate to have known him and seen him happy that last time. He will be greatly missed. RIP, Dan.

Sorry for your lost. May the following scripture give you some comfort. “He will actually swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign LORD will certainly wipe the tears from all faces. And the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, for the LORD himself has spoken [it].” - Isaiah 25:8

Dan was a SUPER guy who spent many days at our house with my brother as I was growing up.
I saw him at a concert recently which I know was one of his favorite pasttimes and even though we didn't see each other often, he was still looking out for me as a little sister. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
