EULOGIES & CONDOLENCES
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.
Such a kind and genial man; a considerate and
loving son, son in law, husband, father,
grandfather. A loss for all and my loving thoughts
are with Jennifer, Anna, Emma and all the family.
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.
