For the past few years, I have played golf with Mr. Finnegan and those times were some of my greatest memories on the course. We would always talk about anything and everything golf related and he always knew how to make me laugh with his stories. I will miss the fun times he brought and the support he always gave.

I met Danny 30 years ago when I came to the US from Canada he was working with my brother in law and we used to play a lot of golf together at Green Gardens in Frankfort. I remember his laugh and how nice he was to me always asking about how I was doing...always interested in how I played...a real nice person. RIP Danny

My sincere condolences to the Finnigan family. As a fairly new member and Finance Officer ofcPostc#991, I didn't have the chance to really get to know Danny. What i did observe was a soft spoken gentleman who ran his meetings with courtesy and respect for his feklow comrades. He will be remembered in my prayers.
