We will cherish these memories for the rest of our lives. You will be missed TREMENDOUSLY...We all know one day we will see Danny again, this life is short and I know Danny would want us to continue with our laughter and jokes in the room that we share each day. So, Danny, I look up into the sky and smile knowing your looking down and sharing our laughs with us. Love and miss you always.....Cheryl (Sexxy) ONE LAST HUG ((((Dieeeeeeee))))

I remember in florida funnin with Danny on the computer while we were all out there.. He was a prince of a man with so much to offer. I will always hold a special place in my heart for his smile and the times we talked about the pride he took in his job. The photos of him up on the roof ballists. No Fear.. Thanks Danny for the memories.

Danny was part of a closely knit online community comprised of people from all over the country. It was a relief to so many of us that we could share our affection for him through notes and flowers in his final days. There will be a huge void in our online "family" with his loss. Truly, gone but not forgotten, (((Danny))).

Danny was one of those people that just put a smile on your face when you seen him. He always had a joke under his belt and when ever I came to visit his son Jamie and daughter in-law Kara you could always hear him in the kitchen singing a little tune. He is loved by so many people and we all know that he is in a better place suffering no illness and no pain. I imagine that his is sitting in heaven talking about the good old days and drinking a frosty one. He will truely be missed. Jamie and Kara you know I'm here for you; if you need anything I'm just a phone call away.

I sincerely thank every single person that is leaving such kind words for my father. He was your friend, but he was my idol, my mentor, my protector, my hero....my dad. If you knew him like i did, he wouldn't want us to grieve, he'd want us to laugh, and party, and drink a frosty cold beer! Always remember Danny for who he IS and try not to speak in "was". He'll always live on within us, don't forget that.
