So sad to say goodbye to my Uncle Dan. He was a very funny and loving man. I appreciate the many years he looked after my brother and I. I have fond memories of singing any and every Beatles song with him. May Danny rest in peace.
I am Tanya’s Aunt.
I was sorry to hear of Danny’s passing.
He had too short of a stay here on earth.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Dad, I will miss you so much. It is still hard to believe you wont be around anymore. I love you with all my heart and can’t wait to see you again. I feel so terribly shorted with the amount of time we had, but I know you will be watching and we will be together again someday. I love you, good bye for now but not forever.Love you, Tanya
Our thoughts and prayers to your family. You were blessed to have Dan as a family member.

There are places I remember
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I’ve loved them all
I’m sorry I can’t be there. Looking forward to the day we can see each other again. MISS YOU UNCLE DAN!!
God knows we had our difference of opinions but you gave me Tanya the greatest joy of my life and for that I’d like to Thank You. Life was cut way too short for you. My heart goes out to the entire family but especially to Tanya and Donna. Try to believe time heals all wounds.
