Danny’s love of cooking brought family and friends together throughout his life – leaving lasting
memories of laughter and love around the kitchen table. He enjoyed traveling, playing
poker, spending time with his friends and being surrounded by loved ones. Danny was a loving
husband, supportive father, wonderful grandfather and great-grandfather. He was selfless –
someone you could count on when you needed him, and a true family man. He will be missed
and always remain a strong presence in our lives, and more importantly, in our hearts.
