How sad. I sure did enjoy our time together in high school. He was so funny and kind. He taught me most of my spaanish words that you are not allowed to speak in public. He will be missed. Prayers to his family!!

Danny was a friend of mine in high school and beyond. We became very good friends after my return from Nam and worked together for many years. Anytime we saw each other nothing changed between us, we still spoke of the good times we had and the ones to come. Years from not staying in touch did not matter to us. Danny will be missed by me and I am still proud to say he was my dear friend.
