A few years later he moved to Houston where he went to work for Southwestern Bell Telephone Company. While working for Bell he coached a girls softball team which went to Nationals. After 34 years of working he retired to Lake Livingston.
Danny loved to fish. He and his wife Kathie fished tournaments for years. They would plan their annual vacation so that they could fish during the full moon in the month of February, trying to catch the "Big One". They fished fresh and salt water every opportunity they had.
Danny's also loved his grandson, Dylan, and was the best Papa ever. They would spend hours building anything Dylan wanted to build.
Danny was a loving husband, father, grandfather and friend. He was a caring friend and would help anyone who needed his help. He will be missed by all who knew him.
