Danny was my nephew. I will always remember his sweet smile and manners. He, Dale and my son Mike played together as little boys and they remained very close friends during their teenage years. Sometimes when Danny came to Yadkinville I would see him and sometimes not. I saw him the Sunday before the accident and I can still see him setting at the table with that sweet little smile he had. When he told me that day he had moved back here, I was so surprised and happy. He was so looking to move his family here to be with him. What a sweet, sweet child. God bless the family and my prayers are with you.
