People in his community of Weston knew they could count on him when needed. He was a father-figure to many. For 49 years, Danny worked at the Weston Water Treatment Plant. Even after retirement, Danny’s expertise was used in a part-time role at the Water Plant. Danny was always proud of the quality of water for the Weston community. Danny and Cindy’s homes were always full with family and friends, especially for Sunday dinners where a meal would feed any that wanted to join.
