In Danny's recent years, he developed a new love for Bike riding. Danny loved riding his bicycles throughout all of San Francisco. But most of all, Danny is remembered for his music! He was known to play the guitar and the piano, but most of all, he LOVED to sing. Music was his life and life was his music! The memories of Danny will forever live; not only in memory, but in our heart, mind, body, and soul.
