Danny was a kind and gentle man, never too busy to give his time to others. He was good to me and others at the WCSO. He was part of the old 3rd platoon "dream team" as Billy used to say. (Some of you remember) I know that Danny loved his family dearly, I will be praying for your comfort in his passing.

Rest easy Danny. You were such a loving and kind person. I remember when Anna and I were little girls you and Jennifer would take us to WV to visit, I remember going there with y'all for New Year's and eating cabbage with money in it. Some of the best memories of my childhood involved you and for that I consider myself very lucky. To Anna and Jennifer, I'm so truly sorry for your los,you guys are in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry to hear the news. My heart goes out to Danny's family during this difficult time. Danny and I grew up near each other in Nitro. We shared several friends and had many memorable times together. Although life and time separated us a few years after high school, I have thought of Danny often and the years and great times we all spent together growing up. He will be missed.
