Jane, Amory and Danny. So sorry to hear about Dan and thinking of you all. May he rest in peace. He always had an Irish welcome for the Irish visitors when we went to visit Aunt Eileen and our cousins and was a lovely friendly man.

I have a very fond memory of visiting Pennsylvania back in the 80´s and Danny taking me for a spin on his motor bike it was so exciting and terrifying all at once. May Danny´s gentle soul rest in peace and may you all find comfort in each other over the coming days, weeks and months. God bless from Brenda and Geoff Longford, Ireland

My sincerest condolences to the Fetko family. Danny will be missed so much by anyone who had the chance to know him. I know I will. He is my brother, and I will never forget the impact he had on me personally. Some days when you just feel so down about something, and don't want to be bothered, here comes Danny! All of the sudden, you forget about why you even felt the way you did, because his presence was that strong. I have to words for you my brother. THANK YOU!!!

I was shocked and saddened when I learned of Danny's passing. I am so sorry. My deepest condolences to Jane and the entire Fetko family. I first met Dan playing basketball in grade school. I was on the 7th and 8th grade basketball team at Central Catholic. Dan was the star on St Hedwig's team. He dominated and was clearly the best player on the court. When Dan went to WSCC, we were both on the freshman team. Early in our freshman year, Dan invited me over to his house and we shot pool (he wiped the table with me) and watched basketball on TV. Dan went on to stardom in high school. He had many high scoring games. I had not seen Dan since HS, but I always thought we was a great guy and was always nice to me. May God keep Danny and Hold Him on the Palm of his Hand.
