I was friends with Danny in 6th grade at Ayrlawn and in junior high at NB. I remember reading that he was stabbed to death in the course of an altercation with someone in downtown Bethesda. I was sad to learn of it; he was a great guy.
Danny and I were trumpet friends grades 7-12, as well as outside of school. Played many duets together. We were constantly challenging each other for chairs. He was a great guy, lots of fun, always upbeat and cracking jokes. I remember when I heard he had died, I couldn't believe it. My understanding, he was walking in Bethesda with a new girlfriend and her ex showed up and confronted them. The guy ended up stabbing Danny, very sad.
Dan was a friend and a really nice guy. I was sad to hear of his passing. He and I went to Ocean City to celebrate graduation and had a blast with only one glitch. On the way there I was pulled over for speeding and luckily Dan with stealthy moves quickly placed both of our beer cans under his seat as we were riding with the top down. I actually got off with just a warning after telling the officer that we were on our way to the beach to celebrate graduating, while looking down saying ‘Yes Sir’ multiple times hoping he wouldn’t catch a whiff of my breath. He never asked what was in the ice chest in the back seat – but of course he knew!

Don & Bill, what year was Danny murdered?

Lynn, I'm pretty sure it was around December 1975. Looks like December 29, 1975 according to the Genealogy websites.
