To Dan and Maureen;
I was so sad to hear the news about Danny. I will never forget the early days of his life that I was blessed to spend with him and the privilege that is was to meet the two of you. We shared many laughs and tears together over the years. You guys were like family. I was always impressed by Danny's smile and lighthearted spirit - so kind and gentle. Never a complaint. He leaves a memory on my heart and a lesson about life -- He was blessed to have you both as his parents and lifelong advocates!
love and hugs and prayers,

Dear Maureen & Dan:

So very sorry to hear of Dan's passing. Enjoyed the many hours we spent at the Riviera in the Water Aerobics class. He was a very special, warm and loving person who will be missed by all who knew him. Will keep you all in my prayers in this time of need.

September 17, 2016

I learned so much from Danny about the power of positive thinking and courage to face life in spite of great health obstacles. I will miss his visits with me and I know I will think of him frequently as time goes on. In that way, his memory will be lengthened and he will be a source of inspiration in my own life. My condolences to the entire family. I can say without reservation, that having known this family and served them in caring for Danny, it has been the most meaningful experience of my career. Dr. Robert T. Egel
