Danny and I have been friends since the 60's and he was just as good a man before he became a pastor as he was after. Our community has lost a very good man?

I didn't know Danny or his family but I know he was a great Godly man from the many times I've heard his name in our community over the years. I was saddened when I heard of his passing as I know he touched many lives in our county. I'm sorry for your loss and know, as you do, that he's in a better place. God bless.

Deanna, Jonathan, Girls, and their families, Danny was one of the kindest and happiest people that I have ever known. He made me happy just to talk with him. He was so proud of his Children and Grandchildren. I was privileged to have had Jonathan in one of my 2nd grade classrooms. He will leave an empty spot in our town. Please know that all of you are in our thoughts and prayers. Paul and Janice Greco
