Our thought and prayers are with you all, Danny will be missed he was such a character, and I hear a good cook, all these years knowing he was chef at riccelli's, and we have lived across the street from them for 30 years never ate there. The Scavos have been the best neighbors one could ask for, Danny you truly are missed. RIP our friend. We will check in on Barb.

Sending Prayers to the family at this time of loss. Danny was a great man,he is the one who jump started my 45 plus year career in food service. I as in most people enjoy eating food but Danny installed in me a passion for the food it's self. Things he taught me I have carried with me through out my life and have shared much knowledge that he shared with me. Danny was my mentor , I was sad when he couldn't make my wedding I wanted him to be proud of the woman I had become and share in my happiness. He maybe gone but he will never be forgotten.
