I wanted to let the family know that Mr. Danuski played a huge role in my childhood. As a member of Troop 45 in Pleasant Township, he guided us through many memorable events. I will never forget him finding the old skis for which we built our first Klondike Derby buggy in the early 1970’s. Always a calm but firm person who obviously enjoy guiding young people. He was special to me and I appreciate all he did for us. If I turn out to be half the man he was, I will have made a good impression amongst our peers. Thank you Mr. Danuski for all that you did and the kindness in your soul. I was born and raised in Pleasant Township and enjoyed a good childhood thanks to people like you.
Thank you for your kind words. He will be missed. The Danuski family
To the entire Danuski family: Please accept my sincere condolences on your loss. I worked with Dick in Quality Control in the early 70’s. This man was a real pleasure to work with and never had a bad word about anyone.
Please accept our deepest sympathies. I remember living next door to the Danuskis on Arlington Dr. Great memories.
