Conor,

I don’t know if you remember me but I met Danny with Josh and some of the other guys back in high school with my girl friends while we were vacationing at Nordic Village. Danny was working the front desk and after his shift him and the guys went to the pool and hot tub. Alix’s family had a condo they stayed at and it just so happens that night we were all there. That same night after bantering back and forth with each other we were all in the hot tub and had the terrifying experience of a clown jumping the fence from the woods. Needless to say we ended up in the guys lap. That was the start of great friendships. Between proms vacations in florida (slight tap of the peddle and continue on… who needs stop signs??) and Danny’s trips to Boston before he took off somewhere exciting and random phone calls to say hi you knew he was genuine and was a friend I would have for life. I am still in shock. I read your updates and it just doesn’t seem real. How could something like that happen to Danny??? It’s all just surreal. I don’t know that any words can really console you right now, but I hope that you and your family take comfort in knowing that Danny is an amazing person, with loads of character, charisma, and love for everyone and everything around him. We send nothing but good vibes, love, and prayer to him and your family. If there is anything at all that we can do to help out here on the east coast please don’t hesitate to ask.
