Danny, I have been looking for you on our post, but didn't want to find you here 'in memory'. I have fond memories if you in home room for all four years. You always made me laugh! Rest in peace, Danny.

All us kids from the Crosby School remember you back in the day, when you usually got to sit behind Dennis Adams. Rest in peace, Danny...

Danny,
Rest in peace my friend. We were neighbors in the Veterans' Housing Project and lived right across the street from each other. We were in grades 1 through 12 together and shared many wonderful memories of the project kids.
