Danny was definitely a character, a wise ass that everyone was attracted to. He could always make people laugh, and always had a huge smile on his face that you couldn't help but smile back.
My last interaction with Danny was about 3 hours before his last jump. I was packing in the skydive Atlanta tent when I bent over to pick something up and SMACK! right on my ass...Danny slapped me. At this point I have not seen Danny in 3 months but I knew that was his 'hello'. I turned around and jumped into his arms where I received a big bear hug (which he was always great at giving). He said, "I had to come find you,..I haven't seen you in a while". I told him I missed him and that it was great to see him. Danny always put me in a good mood.
He was a very caring person, loved to help people out and share his knowledge.
Danny, I'll miss you at the DZ , it just won't be the same. LOVE YOU
I knew of Bob, but never got to meet him. Deepest sympathies go out to both families and all the lives they have touched.
