I'm saddened to think of Dan's passing. Although I lost track of Danny, we had known each other since the 3rd grade through the Moline Boys Choir. He had a great voice and was a soloist. While not close friends following that, I always really liked Danny. There was a dream he had that he shared with some of us in MoBoCho that struck a chord and still brings a smile to my face when I think of it. It will remain a secret. RIP Dan!
