Danny was a masonry contractor for many years. After retiring as an exceptional brick layer Danny enjoyed his vegetable garden and cooking. Family and friends in the Atkinson community loved the fellowship and food at Danny's lunchtime gatherings every Friday. Danny's cooking and the Friday fellowship will be greatly missed by many.

Danny loved his family dearly, especially his grandchildren. He was a diligent worker and a plain spoken man who always shared what he had with others. He will be remembered for his engaging smile, generous nature and warm heart. Treasured memories of Danny will forever remain in our hearts.
