So sorry for your loss as well as the loss of a friend,and union brother. Danny was always fun to be around. Him and I always considered ourselves lucky,grew up in a great city,and worked for that city.
Danny made the world and city a better place. I would often call him “Applehead”,he usually called me something that is unprintable. Yes a true friend. God broke the mold when he created Danny.
As one of the Brookpark kids growing up Dan always had a smile on his face and was one of the best. I only regret not keeping in touch with Dan other than Face book. Dan you will be missed by all you came in touch with Rest in peace my old friend and now you can be with your parents as well as lost friends.
My deepest sympathy and condolences.
My heart breaks when ever I think of the fun times at work. Danny’s one liners were always the BEST! Always make a bad day bright. He was a Great family man, and the best co-worker anyone could ask for. I miss you buddy! Blessings to ALL of his family.
I am so sorry for your loss. You are all in our prayers.

I love the concept of “a joyful Celebration of Dan’s Life”
so sorry for your loss
An empty space has been left in our hearts but numerous great memories will last a lifetime. ‘Til we meet again.
Danny was always ready with a joke or a well timed witty comment. His presence was never unwelcomed and a better all round person you won’t find anywhere. My favorite Dannyism was “My name is Apathy….but I don’t care.” We Love and Miss you Dan!
So sorry for your loss. My prayers and condolences to your family. Dan was such a great man.
Shari- You and Dan taught me the value of enjoying your family and living life to its fullest. Your boys are blessed beyond measure to have parents like you. Family first, always…Dan has left a tremendous legacy. I love you like a sister. Keeping you and Sam, Ben, and Alex in my prayers every day.
