  2. CandleImageDanny was a dear sweet soul. We spent a lot of time together at WRAS and the Signal.
    A calm sweetness is how I remember his demeanor. He never had a harsh word for or about anyone.
    We lost touch as friends often do, but his kindness stays with me.
    I’m heartbroken to learn of his death. My thoughts are with everyone who cared for Danny.

  3. I met Danny about 1980. He was a busy photographer and videographer and very talented. He worked with my group, The Raves, for several years on photo shoots, videos and he directed a TV show. He was a great friend and is missed.

  4. I’ve known Danny since 1976 from Ga State and WRAS, and we had stayed in touch over the decades through station reunions and events. We had just exchanged emails in January of this year, as it was WRAS’ 50th anniversary. He was well loved by all who knew him and will be missed. My deepest condolences to Danny’s family.

  5. CandleImageI met Danny when he was at WRAS and had his program, Film Focus. I worked at an ad agency and some of our clients were movie companies, so I took guests to his show. We became friends and sometimes hung out at his apartment or met at clubs to hear music. Later when he became a photographer, I went to his art openings. Over the years we would email, and he would send me the most glorious images. He was a kind, smart, poetic, happily Irish, talented man. I will remember him fondly.

  6. CandleImageDanny was a dear friend of mine and I am saddened to hear of his death. We shared many great laughs and weird times, too many to mention and most too bizarre to be believed. I have, over the years, told many a “Danny story” to the delight and disbelief of others but they are all true. I used to tell Danny he was a “folly of the angels” meaning God’s too busy to oversee the creation of all so some he relegates to the oversee of the angels who are less than perfect so these are “follies” – like people but slightly off. He loved that definition and it suited him. Anyone who truly knew Danny has a crazy tale to tell, and he loved being the star of his own foibles. Like no other, no template, a true original, both an aggravation and a treasure. I love you Danny and I miss you. You were a real talent with a kind heart. I am better for having known you. I hope heaven works out for you. Just don’t ask them a million questions about what’s in the food or they’ll toss you out. PS Watch out for pink cabinets, chocolate ice cream is not in season, and don’t tell the girl down the street that you’ve “been watching her.” Big love.

  7. What a sweet man….I just learned of his death…and wish I were there to celebrate him. I met him in film production several years ago….and he hired me to help him on a location job (and I decided locations was not for me, but so glad he gave me the opportunity)….I know he is at peace now. I will only remember good thoughts. Rest his soul.
