I knew Danny for thirty years. We worked together many of those years and he was a dedicated emloyee. He was also a good friend. We had opportunities to travel around the country and had many good times together. Danny liked to fish, play golf and have a beer or two. He also enjoyed both playing and watching softball. Danny was fun to be around because you never really knew what he would say or do next. He loved to tell stories about his family, which includes the dogs and the cats. As I think back over the years I realize he left me with many fond memories. I will miss him.

We have so many memories with Connie and Danny (gradeschool to high school. (Robertson was Danny & Glenda, Park was Connie & Cecil) In 1968 they were stationed in the LA area and we were in the San Francisco area. They drove up to meet us and we all went to San Franciso for the first time together. We were definitely the typical "Okies" in the big city. Connie taught me how to make gravy and the two of us ALWAYS shared popcorn because we were the only ones who liked lots of butter and salt. So many memories. We love and miss them. You boys are in our thoughts and prayers.

Danny and I worked in the same office but I never got to know him until we worked a project together. He had a "dry" sense of humor and he saw something funny about everything. I could look at Danny and see those wheels spinning and I knew that he was going to come up with something witty. He could always make me laugh. I miss him.

My condolences to Danny's sons and the rest of the family. Danny lived in my neighborhood and I would see him occasionally and would always wave a "hello". Todd and Kelly lost their parents much too young but they were a wonderful couple and I'm glad they are together again.

To the family of Danny Joe, I will always remember our childhood and the great times we had on 32nd Street.Robertson, Clinton & Webster is how long I knew Danny. Connie wasn't until Jr High. Remember my sister Jackie, Paul? She lives in Broken Arrow too. I never got to meet you boys, but with the parents you had, I know you turn out good. I will be thinking of all of you tomarrow. I can't get off to come to the funeral, but I will be there in spirit. My prayers are with you, Vicki Lou James Beech

I am saddened to hear of Danny's death, and glad I had the opportunity to visit with him several times in 2005, after not having seen or heard from him since high school. I remember Danny as being the funniest kid in grade school and friendly to everyone. His wife Connie was also a very nice person and they made a great couple. My condolences to his sons and the rest of his family - I know he will be greatly missed. He was so proud of his grandkids and talked of them every time we had a conversation. Best regards, Marilyn McGee
