In Loving Memory


Hi Shirley; My name is Bob Magliocca, son of George & Pat Magliocca from California. I live here locally and saw the obituary of Danny. So I called my parents to tell them of your loss. They wanted me to send their condolences. You dont know how many times my Dad has asked about Danny when we would go out to Ca for visits. I could never find a number of you guys to give them.

I would like to send my condolence to Shirley & all the family, I worked for Danny at his Motel many years ago. so saddened to hear of his passing away
