Debbie & family,
I had the pleasure of meeting Dan on 2 occasions. He was ill at the time but you would have never known by his pleasant and cordial demeanor. What an inspiration Dan and Debbie were, smiling and loving in the midst of such difficulty. What a wonderful legacy Dan has left for all that knew him, and even those that didn't know him that well. He made a difference.
Debbie, Dan was so blessed to have you by his side. Your in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless

Debbie & Family,
One of the things I liked best about Danny was his ability to tell a joke and lift your spirits, but Danny had a serious side. He didn't joke about the things loved and charished the most, he didn't joke about his family! He loved his family more than anything else and I think that's why he fought so hard to stay alive. I don't think he feared death, I think he feared not being able to be with the one thing he loved the most, his family.
May you all find peace and strength within your family and rise above this painful loss.
God bless and keep you.

Danny's positive impact in the world has not passed with him, his outgoing humor made the life for many in the ordnance community better and is an example of how we would like to be remembered.

I was his Office Manager at the time we worked together when Walt Williamson was my supervisor. Dan would call me about his timecards from home or his office, and carried a little conversations with so much laughters. He was a nice man to work with. Thank you for stopping by whenever you were out here at CAMAIR. My prayers and thoughts are with the family. May God be with you all at this time of sorrow.

I was saddened to learn of your loss. I had the good fortune to get to know Danny and Clay when Jan worked in the transportation industry, and was impressed with his sense of family as well as his sense of humor. A few years later was able to keep up with him and Debbie through working with Josh for a time.
I know what a loss this to you all
and will have the welfare of your family in my prayers.

Mr. Vinny was a very special person to me and my family. He was not only my fathers’ best friend but a best friend to my entire family. Mr. Vinny was the sweetest, most caring, outgoing person. He would do anything for anybody. He was so loving and there is nothing he loved more than spending time with his family and friends. My family loved him so much, I loved him so much. I am so thankful for the many years this GREAT man was in my life. Mr. Vinny you’re such an inspiration to me and I will always remember and love you for that.
