We extend a heartfelt thank you to his co-workers for their care and support. Danny will be remembered as a fiercely independent, caring, and loveable man. Some of his greatest pleasures included spending time with family, his lifelong friends, barbequing a big steak with a cold one, a good cup of tea, watching football and hockey, working out at the gym, and spending time with his cats Coco and Spike. We sincerely thank all of Danny's family and friends who provided overwhelming love and support to him throughout his battle with cancer. Special thanks to the HealthCare professionals at CancerCare Manitoba, especially Dr. B. Bashir, Dr. M.

I had the pleasure of knowing Danny my entire life. I was lucky to have had such a dear friend. He was very strong and courageous in his battle over the last three years but sadly he had to leave us. Although it breaks my heart that he had to go, I find comfort in knowing that I have a lifetime of wonderful memories to cherish. I will miss you terribly my friend. Fly with the angels Buster! - Posted by: Marcia (lifelong friend) on: Apr 13, 2013

Danny was a very eager student of mine who enrolled in our HVACR course after the layoff from Coldstream. He was so happy to go home and share his material with his father. Danny kept in touch with Denise and I after the course and we spent many good times talking on the phone and not a time went by when he did not express interest on how our Son (also in Danny's class) Grandson and granddaughter were doing. Denise's baking also hit the spot on many occasion when we dropped by unexpected. Danny may you rest in peace and know you will live on in our memory. - Posted by: D.
