Danny was one of the first people I met after being introduced to the 3rd grade class at Monrovia in 1966 when I moved here from Florida. He made “Magic” happen, literally. His leadership, innovative fundraising, counseling and support made him a driving force in making big dreams possible. I was proud to call him my friend, thanks. R.I.P. -David Gray
David, Thank you. He loved the Monrovia Magic like it was his family. I know he is up in heaven teaching softball right now.
