Danny was first diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer in January of 1997. Instead of giving up he continued to live his life in the usual routine. He worked every day and came home and coached football or baseball every night. I never remember hearing him complain about his illness, and I rarely saw him cry although I knew it was killing him knowing he would never see his boys grow up. Danny died suddenly one day after getting sick at work. He had never been hospitalized for his illness so it came as quite a shock to our family. We are still trying to pick up the pieces. No matter how I try to sum up his greatest accomplishments, it is simple - his greatest triumph was being a Dad and loving his boys. I Love You Big Brother, I will never forget you and I will miss you forever.

When I come to the end of my journey
and I travel my last weary mile
Forget if you can
That I ever frowned
and remember only my smile.
Forget unkind words I have spoken
Remember some good I have done
Forget that I ever had heartache
and remember I've had lots of fun
Forget that I've stumbled and blundered
and sometimes fell by the way.
Remember I've fought some hard battles
and won ere the close of the day.
Then forget to grieve for my going,
I would not have you sad for a day.
But in summer just gather some flowers
and remember the place where I lay.
And come in the shade of the evening
When the sun paints the sky in the West
stand for a few moments beside me.
