Vicky & family: I didn't know Danny died till I came to library & just happened to check Gentry's website. I didn't know since it was not in newspaper. I am very sorry, as us old engineers need to stick together
especially since we were in same union. (Many years ago, for me) I am truly sorry. Danny was a good man. Rather not use real name "ONLINE"

Very Sorry to hear of Danny´s passing. I worked with Danny at Muzak/Mood for many years. He was always ready to jump right in and help in any way needed and was a real pleasure to be around. Rest In Peace, Danny..my Prayers are with you and your family.

Vickie & Family,
We were so sorry to learn of Danny's passing. I have had you both in my prayers daily and will continue to lift you and your family up in prayer. May you find comfort in knowing Danny is with the Lord. May God wrap his loving arms around you and sustain you with His grace until you meet again.

I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Danny well. He was very energetic thats for sure and a hard worker. I know for a fact he loved his family more than anything. I think I was 13 years old when I first got to know him he was driving a 1969 Roadrunner around. James, Frankie, David, Darrell, Kenny, Annabell and all your family I have you in my Prayers. ( You are all my friends for Life ) Mike Basham
