Danny possessed a larger-than-life personality. You could feel a positive shift in energy when he entered a room. Danny had an uncanny ability to read people and seemed to always know the right words or actions to take to make someone’s day.
Danny had a great sense of humor that would often leave others laughing. He had a natural gift with this.
