I knew Danny from working around him at Eastman. I never saw Danny when he wasn't smiling and cutting up. He always had a joke to tell and he always put you in a good mood especially when you were down. He was a joy to know and he will be missed by so many. The world was a better place with Danny in it.. I am so sorry for your loss.
