Susan, Steve & David,

Danny touched a lot of lives, and I was privileged to know him. He was a caring, gentle, and genuine man. Anyone that ever talked to him could tell how much he cared about his family. I am glad that I was able to talk and share a few moments with him just a couple of weeks ago. My deepest sympathy to the family in regard to this very huge loss.
