Hello Uncle Danny,

If there is one memory I will always keep in my heart, it is when we were all at Cardines Field. Seeing you and Pampa together...priceless. And when i was bored at the baseball game I would look over at you and see how much you and Pamps were into it... and now when I go to Cardines to watch Uncle Ronnie play and hearing the echo of a wooden bat snapping as the batter runs to first, I will think of the time we had together. You will always be rembered, loved, and in my prayers.

Rest in peace.

Love,
Bethany

Hey Big Sarge
I miss you so much man! You know I'm not the best at this type of stuff, hell you can see how hard this is right now. I'll always miss our late night chats by the pool, your stories & My stories the way you always had a way of making sense out of all I was feeling. Thank you so much for being there for everytime I needed you. Not a day has passed I haven't thought of you. Youwere so much more than my Uncle or my Godfather, you were My friend and my Hero.
Love ya man
here's to you
"Gary Owen"
"To The Top"
Your godson, newphew and brother in arms,
Ronnie

If the memories I have of you
Were small enough to fill a thimble
I would fill a thimble,
And keep it in my sight.

But, since the memories I have of you
Are battle-size, I will fill a field
Big enough for armies, and
Listen to their noise.

Should the memories I have of you
Diminish, then, through all my years,
I will find, again, the thimble,
And keep it filled within my sight.

I Love You Uncle Dan

Hey Uncle Dan,
You and I had a very special relationship, we were always friends first! I remember you lived with us a for a while, and I used to tell you my plans for my life! We sure did know how to PARTY! You made me laugh so much, we loved rockin' out huh? You are my GodFather, and I love and miss you so much! Ditto to what Lisa said (Theeeee MOST Handsome Uncle!)

I loved your stories although some were sad, each one a piece of the fabric of the awesome person you are.

I'll always remember you and Uncle Ron waiting for me on the Arcade Wall to walk me home, such awesome body guards you two were! So many laughs! You were so loved by all of us, and I'm a better person for having been loved by you.
Rock On Uncle Dan!!! I listen to Kashmir and Thank You (Led Zepplin) every morning and think of you!!!
Love always, Stacy

Dear Family - Cherish your memories - Uncle Dan is looking down on us with his Mom, Dad, brother, sister and smiling on us all!
God Bless everyone!

I can never forget the lessons you taught me as a wide-eyed teenager while I lived at #10 and you lived at #12 No. Baptist. Although my Mom would freak if she knew of some of those lessons, the memories make me laugh to this day! Everyone needs a cool Uncle and I had two!!! Don't worry 'bout a thing....cuz every little thing is gonna be alright.

Love and smiles, Gina

Uncle Dan,

I remember the first time I met you again, you were fresh out of the Army. You walked in to our house wearing new blue jeans and a leather coat. You smelled of after shave and leather. I knew that you had to be the most handsome man in the world, (besides my Dad of course). I couldn't believe there was a real life hero in my house and he was MY Uncle. The sense of awe that I had for you when I was a young girl never faded. Thank you for all that you gave. You will be missed!
