Barb, Tim, and members of the Lucia family,
When growing up, Danny was the oldest of the family of Lucia cousins, and he was well respected for his dedication to service.
He shared his dedication with many people over the years, and I know he will be greatly missed. He was a scholar and a friend to many!
My mentor my friend who became my family. You are so missed and loved. I will continue to be here for your sister as I was for you. Rest easy your with your stents now sir.
Barb, so sorry for the loss of your brother. I had every intention of making the visitation; but the weather certainly did not cooperate. I remember the Fourth of July get togethers at Yolanda’s when we all enjoyed the day, the food and the stories. May God give you comfort.
I first met Dan while working together at Faith Inn. Dan was always caring to the needs of others,and taught me much in serving others. Throughout the years we became good friends,and I always cherished his friendship. He will truly be missed, and never forgotten.
