Dear Stelzriede family,
I am very saddened to hear of Danny's passing, although I had not seen him in several years i can still hear him calling people "sap sucker". Danny was truly one of a kind, his jokes and laughter and friendly spirit was always fun to be around, he will be dearly missed by his family and many friends. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I will always remember the days on the farm, as the oldest niece, they were many. You were there when I learned how to swim,fish, and when I fell you were always there to pick me up. Your laugh, your smile, your silly personality is part of who I am today, and always will be. This is not goodbye, but until we meet again. I have always loved you very much and even though I hardly got to see you as we grew older, I always knew you loved me too. Oh yeah! Go Rusty!!!! Those were the days.

I will always have warm memories of you in my heart. I will never forget the good times we had when I was younger. You always had a way of making us laugh and we had so much fun when you were around. I remember always asking if I was your favorite and you always said "yes". You were MY favorite uncle!! I'm sorry that we were'nt able to stay close over the years, I know life has a way of doing that to families. But, I will always have the memories to keep you close. God bless you Uncle Danny, can't wait to see you again! Love, Janet Lynn
