Danny was a true gentleman and is remembered from his days with the Chanute, Kansas Giants of the KOM league in 1948. In the late 1990’s Danny and Helene attended reunions of the KOM league and mutual friendships were made.
Danny attended a mini-KOM league reunion in Cooperstown at the Hall of Fame and sponsored a brick with my name on it. That was the type a person I found him to be. He was very generous in keeping alive the memory of a baseball league where he got his feet wet in professional baseball.
Although I learned of his death a year after the fact, it was still a shock.
