So sorry to hear about Danny. As cousins, we never had much contact over the years, but I remember our childhood as fun and pranks. Love to all the family.

Dan was always a joy to run into at the gas station or on the street. I remember his friendly face waving to us from his porch sipping on a Miller Lite. So sorry for your loss. I was very shocking as he was very vibrant in converation recently. Prayers are with you!
