Dan, we were such close friends in high school, and for years after until we lost touch. I've thought of Danny and his family so many times over the years, and I'm so saddened by his passing. My prayers are with Lou, Mark, and Mike. I know he was a Christian, so we will meet again. - Posted by: Mike Maurage (Friend) on: Dec 18, 2008
