Jackie, Joy and Misty, I am so sorry to hear about your dad. We sure did have fun times handing out together. I’m so glad that Boyd got to visit him recently.
Misty, I never met your Dad, but he must have been a wonderful person. I’m sorry that y’all have lost him!! My thoughts and prayers are with y’all!!🙏🙏❤️
Danny, what a character he was. We had a lot of fun working together at REI and ROS Vacuum. Who wouldn’t have fun with that nut? He kept everybody laughing with some of his escapades. He named our shop cat Puss ‘n’ Boots and delighted in tormenting him, but all in fun. He was really a softie. I brought the cat home to live with me and always thought about Danny when I called his name. My condolences to Jackie, Joy, Misty and all of the grandkids. Indiana’s loss was Texas’ gain. RIP Danny, you will be missed by many.
Many years have gone by and now I’m grown up but I still remember his voice and can see his smile. I miss you all and love each and every one of you. My prayers and condolences Aunt Jackie, Joy and Misty…
