We are saddened by the news of Danny's passing. We shared many good times in Altoona in the 1970's. Danny was always quiet, kind, friendly, fun, helpful and a joy to be around. He will be missed by all who had the pleasure and honor of knowing him. To his family, thank you for sharing your loved one with us. We are so sorry for your loss ... ;`David

Danny and Linda carried on the Iron's family tradition of being great neighbors. Danny and Linda were always there to give a helping hand when needed. Danny and John continually had a "grass mowing contest" to see who was most current. He will be missed!

Have so many sweet memories of Danny and all the hours our family enjoyed time with him when he was in the neighborhood visiting his sister Sherry all those years ago. All my condolences and sympathy to your family.
