I talked to Danny just a few days ago, as I was booking my flight from Phoenix to Atlanta to

visit him at his summer home in North Georgia.  Joe Walsh and I were to meet Danny on

Sunday.   Sadly, I was informed of his passing after my flight arrived by my wife, Margie

and Danny's Uncle Bob.  Words can not express the sadness I feel with Danny passing.

I'll miss his almost daily E-mails, or telephone conversations and our get togetherness in

Florida.

Margie and I have his wife Barbara, his family and his constant canine companions in

our thoughts and prayers.

Danny you will be missed by all who loved you and called you a long time friend. 

Rest in peace Danny !!

John,

I am sad for your loss; your friendship  was a gift and I know you will miss him.

It is obvious, each of your lives were enhanced by the other's. May you take in  the

love that is sent to you now, especially at this sad time.

I too, remember his very sweet spirit: in my mind's eye, I clearly see his smiling face from our days

together at Bogie. I am grateful to have known him.

Gail
