My most sincere condolences, I worked for Danny playing Drums at the Zebra Club from 1965 to 1967.
Danny Was a great Boss and a special friend. He encouraged me to complete my education .
The last time I saw Danny was in 1972 we played golf together.
God rest his soul, he will be greatly missed.

An old time friend of my father and mother. His wife Lorraine and sister Deloris were big poker buddies with my mother.

It was an honor to know Danny and his family. It was also an honor to be buddies with a WWII vet and hear actual war stories.

He will be fondly remembered.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

I'm so sorry for your loss. You will all be in my prayers and thoughts, especially you, Vicki. As we all know by now, losing your parent can be very difficult. Fortunately, being believers, we know what lies for us after this earthly life and can take comfort in that knowledge.

May God be with you in your time of sorrow and ultimately heal your heart by replacing grief with loving memories.

Love,

Shannon, Ashley & Bryan
