Sharon, Michael and Stephanie, we are saddened to hear of the passing of your husband and father. Our thoughts are with you all during this difficult time.
Very sad to hear of his passing. I have fond memories of him & his brother Mike coming out to the farm for BBQ’S & bonfires. Many memories of birthdays @ Shakey’s pizza on Regent Ave & time @ their house for visits & attending the Santa Clause parade in Wpg. Rest in peace Daniel. You had a rough life growing up but now you can rest. You will not be forgotten.
Danny
We were fortunate to hold each other when you were born, and we did the same when you passed. When we meet again, we will do the same. Until then you are always in our hearts. The world should be a better place for all your kindness and good nature that you showed to everyone.

Sending Big Hugs.
I miss you more than words can express dad.
I love you forever,
I just today stumbled across this sad news, and it has caught me by surprise. My younger brother and I met Dan while the two of them were playing hockey together as teens in Transcona, and Dan was residing at the time with his dad and his brother Mike on Pandora Avenue.
Dan was a genuine and honest guy, and had a great sense of humor and good taste in music. We shared some adventures (and even a few misadventures) during our late teens and young adult years. While our paths would later diverge, it was always a joy to catch up when circumstance allowed our paths to cross. Danny has never been far from us in our thoughts.
To his family, I wish you peace, comfort and strength as you mourn Danny’s passing. We will keep you and Danny in our prayers. Everlasting Memory! Vichnaya Pam’yat.
