He was a tinkerer and enjoyed working on lawn mowers. Watching NHRA drag racing and police shows were among Danny's favorite pastimes. Whenever anyone would ask Danny how he was doing, he would always reply, "I've talked to the Main Doctor today." Throughout his illness Danny never lost his faith or questioned his circumstances and always maintained a positive attitude. He was a member of the Adamsville First Baptist Church. Danny has won his race and kept his final appointment with the Main Doctor.
