Danny met people from all walks of life during his career and became friends with many. He enjoyed telling stories from the past, cooking breakfast on the weekends, singing hymns to all who would listen, piddling around his shop, watching his grandkids participate in sports, riding his four-wheeler, during weekdays on his lunch break he would listen to Tradio on KWYN because he was always looking for a good deal, and finally he was a well-known practical joker.
