They have three children, 11 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren. Danny worked in sales and later trained as an audiologist, working well into his 70s. Danny loved cars, golf, his wife's cooking, talking to people and most of all his wife and family. He had a great ability to make people laugh wherever he went. From very humble beginnings Danny has been one of a last generation of people who knew real hardship and truly changed the lives of those who followed. He always showed great pride in his family and friends and we all have even greater pride in him. We owe him a lot and can hopefully make a difference with this fund in his honour.
