Danny was a good friend. I met him through my cousin Steve Rydzewski a very long time ago. I danced at Danny & Rose's wedding.



He always had a smile on his face and a joke to tell whenever I saw him.



Danny will be sorely missed.....



With deepest sympathy

Danny was a great guy. I grew up with him. We played many baseball games at Clay School. If we had not seen each other for a while, when we did catch up Dan was always happy, smiling and joking. He will be missed.
