Im so sorry for the loss of Danny. He looks so much like his dad Jack. Keeping you Teddy, Jack and all the family in my prayers.
Danny,
It was a pleasure being a co-worker of yours and you will be missed dearly by many. With you being on the commercial electrical side I didn’t get to see you a lot, but when I did you always had a smile on your face. I refuse to say goodbye but only say I will see you another day. May you rest in peace and fly high with all the other angles in haven. Peace my friend and prayers to your family.
