Such a funny, humble man. A wonderful co-worker for so many years. Rest in peace.
I worked closely with Danny during our time at Vidant Health. Danny always had funny stories. We spent a lot of time talking about UNC sports. Danny seem to be devoted to his family and cared about them so much. My thoughts and prayers to Melissa and family.

Danny was one of my closest friends and we met while at Vidant. He and I used to take our breaks and discuss WWII and the Civil War, coins, guns, politics, office stuff, and just about everything else. We attended a show once at the fairgrounds that I am thankful we shared. My world is a little darker now without him in it. I cannot imagine what the family is going through. Melissa, I don’t think we met but he spoke lovingly of you often. He also talked his children. Please accept my condolences and prayers.
