Looking at a picture of the 1955 Nomad I got from Danny in Jan. 1971, and decided to google him to see if I could get in touch. So very sad to see that I am too late. He was a very good friend, land lord, and roommate at Ft. Hood Tx. During my last 3 months in the Army.
So sorry for your loss may you find peace and comfort in the words spoken at 2 Corinthians 1:3 & 4" ( 3) Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, (4 ) who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God
So sorry to hear of Danny's passing. He was such a good man & friend. We worked together at John Ellis Chevrolet & Tom Bell Chevrolet. He is truly missed.
I am so sorry for the loss of Danny. We sure had some good times drag racing back in the day.
Jeremiah - To hear of your daddy's passing has hurt my heart so badly. He was such a good man, husband, father and neighbor. I will be thinking of you & will say a prayer for you.
