Danny was well known and loved by all who crossed his path. Family, friends and many others knew him as "Astro" and "Uncle Taco" and would greet him anywhere he went. Danny had a heart like no other. If someone needed help in anyway he was there in a flash. Whether you were a family member, friend or even a stranger, he couldn't say no. He loved to spend his time going for a cruise to visit friends and family and helping around the house in anyway he could. He also loved building his famous dog houses in his free time. He had a soul like no other, his memories will always be cherished and never forgotten. "God saw you getting tired, and a cure was not to be found; so he put his arms around you and whispered, "come to me" with tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away; although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard-working hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, he only takes the best."
