Sending prayers for all the family. I did not know Danny as he is younger than me but went to school with Sally & Larry. I was also sad to hear that Sally also passed away. We were cheerleaders together at Madison.
I first met Danny when we were students at Madison Junior High School and worked with him when we were both in college. He was one of the nicest person I ever knew. Always had a cheerful attitude. So sorry for his passing. RIP Danny.
To the family of Mr. McNickle – please accept my sincere sympathy and know that all of you will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Rest in peace, Danny, and thanks for being such a great leader to our WHS class of 62.
