Just found out about Danny's passing. Sending condolences to the Ploof, Hoerner and McCaul families. We all had great fun together in our youth. Danny was the kindest soul one could ever want to meet. He always had a kind word and a happy spirit. May God's eternal blessings shine upon him. Rest In Peace, Danny.

John and I are both very saddened over the loss of our friend Danny, aka Cone. We have many wonderful camping memories with him from Presque Isle, Conneaut and Cedar Point. Cone was always there with a smile and a joke. I'm very glad he was able to attend John's birthday party 3 years ago as this was the last time we saw him. He never forgot our birthdays with a phone call each year. Rest in peace Danny and we will send healing prayers to your family.

Sorry to read this! Dan was always a nice guy and remembered me from our childhood on Keystone Street every time I saw him. It was always nice talking with him and catching up. I still have a marble he gave me once with an "eye" on it... Short for my nickname. RIP, Dan! My condolences to all of your family. ~Eileen Gorse Marchione
