Danny and I were friends from 1958 in the second grade at Elm Grove. He was a good guy. He was shy, but not around me. We used to go over to his house after school and raid his Mom's refrigerator. I am sorry to hear abut his passing.

IT BRAKES MY HEART OF DANNY'S PASSING, HE WAS ONE OF THE BEST SOULS I HAVE EVER MET AND I HAVE MET ALOT OF THEM.
I AM NOT SURE WHEN WE MET OR HOW, BUT WE WERE CLOSE. I WAS EVEN GRACED TO BE A PART OF HIS AND LINDA'S WEDDING.
I REMEMBER RIDING AROUND IN HIS OLD CHEVY PANEL TRUCK PISSING OUT THE BACK DOORS, DRINKING WITH I AM NOT SURE WHO ELSE WAS THERE THAT NITE. BUT LIKELY MORRISON, LYDON, BUREMAN, WYSONG,JACK,TIM.
WE ALSO HAD OUR FIRST APT. TOGETHER WITH ME, DANNY, CARL NIEHAMMER AND DAVE(PEEWEE-LITTLE DAVE)WYSONG, WOW WE HAD SOME TIMES.
THEN THER WAS SUE PASSAGE AND HOME MADE WINE,FOOTBALL HALF DAY. GOD DID WE GET BLASTED. WE STAGERED SOME HOW ACROSS A LOG OVER THE CREEK. IT TURNED OUT TO BE STUPID BECAUSE WE COULD HARDLY STAND UP AND THEN TRYING TO GO BACK OVER ONE OF US DROPPED THE GALLON BOTTLE AND IT BROKE ALL OVER THE LOG. AT THAT TIME WE WERE TRYING TO SHIMMY ACROSS. THAT HURT. SOMEHOW WE MADE IT BACK TO DANNY'S 64?DARK BLUE DODGE DART. ON THE WAY BACK TO STEAK&SHAKE ONE OF US THRUUP ALL OVER THE BACK SEAT, I THINK IT WAS LOU WILLIAMS FOR SOME REASON. SO WE TOOK IT TO THE CAR WASH AND DANNY SPRAYED OUT THE BACK SEAT, MAN IT TOOK TWO WEEKS FOR IT TO DRY OUT.
THER WAS ANOTHER TIME. DANNY'S PARENTS WERE OUT FOR THE NITE SO YOU KNOW WE HAD A SMALL COUPLE PARTY. BUREMAN WITH WHOMEVER AT THE THAT TIME, DANNY, WYSONG, AND I BROUGHT LINDA. I GOT REALLY DRUNK RECITING SQUARE ROOTS AND LOGORITHIUMS (HOW I DO'NT KNOW), BUT I THINK THATS WHEN DANNY AND LIDA FOUND EACH OTHER AT LEAST I'D LIKE TO THINK SO. THANK GOD!!!!
MORE TO COME...............GOD BLESS DANNY AND LINDA AND THIER CHILDREN AND THIER CHILDREN'S CHILDREN' CHILDREN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dan was a class act.  A good friend and a decent person.  I remember partying with him, Williams, Morrison and some of the other crew.  RIP Bro

I went to school with Danny when we were at Elm Grove Grade School.  He was shy but a very nice boy.  I am so sad to hear of his passing.
