Moyne CS posted on their Facebook page: “Danny was a true gentleman and a friend to many. Danny recently posted in Smileforme2018 and we in Moyne believe these words sum up the beautiful person he was.
‘I’m very lucky to have a close group of good friends who I can share everything with. If you think nobody wants to listen to you then you're very wrong because I for one will talk and listen to any man woman or child at any part of the day or night and it wouldn’t matter if you were from Saudi Arabia or Cloone! We all have people who care for us don’t forget that’.”
