Danny is the only one of the classmates that I have had any contact with in the last twenty years. I guess because we lived in the same town. I will miss him a lot. His life exempifies in the last years that I knew him where he is spending eternity. Way to go Danny.

5 July 2019: Even today I miss Danny very much.. He was my closest friend in school.. Many times we visited together in the post HS years. What a guy he was. So funny and spiritual and always full of life. He took life's hard knocks in stride, always trusting his Lord. I love Danny and am so very grateful for him being in my life. I look forward to our eventual reunion for sure. Bobby Morgan, and for my brother Mike and his wife May F Bagley Morgan too.
I remember Danny at football practice. He was at tackle or guard and at every snap this BIG guy he was facing came up with a forearm and was making Dan's day miserable. So the next play, when the ball was snaped Dan stayed down. The big guy came up with the forearm..SWISH...right over Danny's head. Then,Big D came up like a grizzle bear and about took the guy's head off! Talk about R_E_S_P_E_C_T!!
I don't know if Danny even knew me, but he made an impression on me.He was friendly and smart and tough.
