Danny married Dora Wooldridge on November 9th 1983, and together they shared a
life filled with love, laughter, and simple joys, including playing bingo. They created a
home that was always open to others and cared for many beloved dogs over the
years, including Daisy, Charlie, Iceman, Pooh Bear, Peanut, and Chipper. Daisy, his
most recent companion, held a special place in his heart during his later years.
Danny served in the United States Army during the Vietnam era, attaining the rank of
Specialist Four (SP4). Throughout his life, Danny worked in a variety of occupations,
embodying the spirit of a true jack of all trades.
Danny was an avid storyteller with a naturally curious mind and a fascination with the
world around him. He was a man who could find something fascinating in an old coin,
a piece of history, or an everyday sight worth photographing. Outside of these interests,
he enjoyed fishing, golfing, and rattlesnake hunting. He was also known for his love of Dr
Pepper and Toyotas.

interests, and the unique perspective he brought to the world around him.
