When one became Danny's employee, one also became a member of his family, with GSA being "the home". Thank you Danny for the oportunities you gave me, and providing an environment at GSA filled with wonderful times, sumptuous dining and much laughter! Danny, may you find peace and serenity in your new home.

There will never be another Danny. A delightful companion, a great raconteur, passionate in his defense of his believes and a sense of humor that absolved any of his idiosyncrasy. The world is sadder for his passing.
