Im sure your twinkling eyes are looking down on all you love putting a smile on their faces as everyone tells stories of you. I havent seen you since I was young but even then you were the man who walked in and everyone was a little happier, a little more joking...and a lot more loud.
Aunt Marge, Uncle Buddy and everyone who is raising a glass to Danny todaymy thoughts and prayers are with you
