Not in the loop with Cape Breton news but wanted to pay my respects. When my father told me I didn’t believe it. Leona and Terra, I know it’s been a while but Danny is the type of character one can never forget. Even though I was only a young kid I have you guys in my thoughts. Hope you are well.

We would like to send our sincere condolences to Danny's family.  He was a great man.  Sorry we were unable to make it to the services.  Thinking and praying for you all.

Hi everybody,
I am so sorry to hear about Danny .
Although he was a few years ahead of me, I remember him at D.M.D.H. . Danny always had a smile for everyone and a kind word.      
My heart goes out to you all for this terrible loss and I'm praying that God will help you through.
Hang onto all of those precious memories that you have of Danny, knowing all of the joy he gave , there'd be lots.
As  I have learned through losing a loved one early in life , the best way to honour them is to talk about them and to carry on loving those around you like they did.

With Sympathy,

Sherry ( Mac Dougall )  Harle

Dear Kim, So sorry to hear of your brother’s passing.  Our Deepest Sympathy to you and your family.  Love Harold & Lynn

So sorry to learn of Danny's passing.  May you find peace and comfort in knowing others share your grief and loss.  May you find peace knowing he is in the arms of our Lord and Savior.

I had the pleasure of being Danny's across-the-street neighbor for several years. I will always remember him as the friendly neighbor willing to lend a hand.  He and Leona were our traditional first stop every Halloween, little Meadow looked forward to his treats and sense of humor! We also looked forward to Mom's annual visit! He loved his family, home, and taking pristine care of his lawn, home, boat, and truck. The impressive diagonal lines on the grass made him a tough act to follow! I always smile and think of him when I hear "Get What you Give" by the New Radicals. He enjoyed listening to this song in the driveway while proudly polishing his truck. There were years when it was just my girls and I, and I always felt like Danny kept a watchful eye on us. I was devastated to hear of this news, and my heart breaks for Leona, Mom, and family.  Danny, you are missed! 

I'm so sorry for your loss. Such a shock to the Donkin community. RIP Danny

To Danny’s Family and Friends: It is at times like these that we are brought to reality and the fact we shouldn’t take our life on this earth for granted; every day is a gift.  You lost your loved one way too soon; and we, here, in our tiny village, all lost a great friend. Danny, we enjoyed so many great times .... in school, at Annabell’s, at your parents’ home,  Mira, the Miner’s Forum and, yes, The Legion. You always had a smile on your face, a joke to share, a story to tell. Although your time on this earth was shorter than any of us would like, you lived each minute to the fullest. You will never be forgotten. Rest In Peace, dear friend. Sincerest sympathy and prayers to your loved ones. David and Rosemary Howie
