Most faithful God, lively is the courage of those who hope in You. Your servant Dan suffered greatly, but placed his trust in Your mercy. Confident that the petition of those who mourn pierces the clouds and finds an answer, we beg You, give rest to Dan, my friend. Do not remember his sins, but look upon his sufferings and grant him refreshment, light, and peace. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

My condolences to Danny's wife and family. I knew Danny in high school. We hung out with the same kids. He was such an intellegent young man and had the biggest heart of anyone. I remember that amazing laugh. God bless.

Danny is my father in law. He was the best father, father in law, and Papa. He was the kind of man that would drop what he was doing and help any one out. You are the father that I
never had. There have been so many times that I have wanted to pick up the phone and call you. I play a message that you left us on the phone so that we can hear your voice. Miss you so much. Miss your tomato face laugh, our talks and your advice. Your Sugar Plum got an award and started to get sad because you weren't there. Told her that we are smiling up in heaven. The kids love hear story about you. Madison loves that you called her Sugar Plum. Danyale loves that she was your Sweet Peach and named after you and grandpa. Keith loves that he was named after you and your son Brandan. Keith talks about hitting a home run for you. Even though you only saw Denise a few times she is the one you got to name. Papa was her second word. She hears a lot about you and always will. Please watch over us from heaven.

Dan was a great guy, and had the greatest laugh. We will always remember our time spent at Hart playing baseball, and our lively disussions at a Hart Board Meeting. Dan had a passion for Hart and gave all of himself as President to making Hart Pony Baseball/Softball the premier fields they are today. It was easily recognized how much Dan loved his family, and Hart!
