Danny was a great individual! He was a great and inspiring coach who helped me grow as a young man. He will be greatly missed!
I have such found memories of Danny from my childhood! We would often travel with the Santoni family during the Summer. One memory in particular was when we were staying at Liberty Lake and everyone was trying to sit on this inflatable turtle! No one was able to "tame the beast", and we all were just laughing hysterically as each persons attempts! Great times! My sincerest condolences to Barb, Michael and the entire family

Barb and Michael...My deepest sympathy on Danny's Passing. Truly one of my most memorable, and favorite teammates both on and off the field. I will forever remember his advice, his sense of humour and his quiet leadership, and oh ya, the trip home from our tournament in Vegas. I have been thinking about Danny's impact on me a lot these past few days and it is difficult to not smile and laugh to myself about the times so long ago. Simply one of the best ever. Take care.
My deepest prayers & sympathies to family & friends. Danilo (Danny) was a close friend of my late husband, Don (died January 6, 2022). He played an important part in our wedding, January 13, 1968. Memories from high school days will also live on. May all find comfort in each other & in God.
Sorry to hear the passing of Danny !
