Danny was proudly born in Springfield, Ohio, and moved to the south shore of Massachusetts as a child. He joined the United States Marine Corps in 1973, and was always proud to be a Marine and serve his country. Danny worked in the oil business, a field he was passionate about, for most of his life. He was proud to work for Dennison Lubricants for so many years. Family was most important to Danny, and he made everyone he met feel like extended family. He was always laughing, and no one could tell a better story. He delighted in his eight grandchildren and his many nieces and nephews. You never wondered where you stood with Dan. He was never afraid to say "I love you." Danny will be missed terribly by all that knew him.
