Those close to him loved his good nature and loving heart. He enjoyed sharing time with each of his children, whether having a fantastic meal, fishing or simply visiting.
Danny’s zest for life and love of travel took him far and wide, and he was known as an “idea guy.” He was a stranger to no one, and people always remembered Danny because he left an imprint wherever he went.
He will be forever loved and remembered.
