Danny pursued a career with Braniff International Airlines for 25 years. Later, he became a long-term successful executive salesman for the automotive industry, representing Lincoln, Mercury, and Ford.

Danny had many passions aside from his love of Automobiles:
Skiing, music, movies, history, storytelling, traveling, boating, cooking, and construction projects are just a few of several facets he was great at! There wasn't anything he couldn't do or had knowledge about!

He had a beautiful soul, always appreciative, respectful, and polite, and was a gentleman with the highest integrity in business and family life.
He loved to travel and take road trips with his family, cousins, and friends.
He liked watching a good action movie, documentary, or concert and catching Lawrence Welk on Saturday nights; he also loved following the evening news.
He loved holidays. Christmas was a favorite. He also loved Easter, the 4th of July, and Thanksgiving.

Most importantly, Danny's love for his family overflowed. He cherished their time together, having family dinners, playing music, singing the oldies, playing in the pool, boating, making beautiful memories, and always keeping things fun. He was passionate and proud of his wife, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
