Glenda and Steph,
You are in my thoughts and prayers. It saddens me to learn of Danny's passing. I remember your parents and you fondly when Sam and I lived across the street on Sorentrue from the old shop.

Danny,
Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. Seems like only yesterday that Steph and I were knee high and running around Pop"s shop in the backyard and giving Granny a few extra grey hairs with our antics. Still have to laugh a few years back when our paths crossed at the Sheriff's office when it dawned on you who I was. You were a good man and will be sadly missed by those who knew and loved you.

So sorry to read of Danny's passing. My sisters and I share fond memories of the Smith family as Danny and his father were active deer hunters with our dad. I remember when the location for Smith and Smith Gun Shop was at the home of Danny's parents. My mother and father thought the absolute world of this kind family and Danny always held a special place in my parents' heart. I remember Danny for his sweetest smile and kind heart. Our prayers to Glenda, Stephanie, and his brother David, as well as other family members. God be with you all and we will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.
