Danny was 62 years old, In 1976 he graduated from B.E.H.S. and decided to pursue a music career. He was accepted to UMA and completed a semester, hitch-hiking to and from school. He later received an opportunity to be a painter and started his own painting company, Dan's Painting. Danny grew that business and supported his family with it. He supported his family in every way financially, physically, and emotionally. He never missed a Tae Kwon Do event, a cheer-leading event, or school field trip, if he could go he would.
Throughout his life he always loved playing the guitar, singing, and rooting for the patriots win or lose every Sunday he and mom were in front of the T.V. He loved to jam with his friends, and play at open mic almost as much as he loved his wife, children, and grandchildren. Danny was a devoted husband, grandfather, father, son, and friend.
After his wife's passing a year and a half ago, Dan found out that he had bladder cancer. He fought hard and spent the last of his time doing and being with the people he loved the most, his children, grandchildren and friends. Anyone that knew him, knew he had the biggest heart and kindest soul. He will be missed by anyone that had the opportunity to cross paths with him.
