Do you think they will keep it and finish it?

I know Danny and his family were close and I know that they could easily do this finnancially on there own.

I think the magazine article would be a great legacy peice so we can always remember the type of person he was.:bowdown:

Let me put it this way...the idea was not warmly received by the family.
Perhaps this may change later, but to be honest with you, I just don't know.

gotcha...thanks for the info:)

Whatever his close friends decide on I'm in. I would put Danny in the top 1% of people I have ever known. While we weren't close I considered him a friend and will miss talking to him.

Ditto. Always enjoyed hanging out with him.

Just saw this and am shocked.

I gave him a ride from Havasu Springs to the Channel after a Hotboat get together, and found out we went to the same high school (many years apart). He will be missed. RIP

Cole Trickle, when he first passed they were looking for a charity and were not sure which one.. I called Mike at Prime and figured out exactly what it would take to get the boat finished, and he offered to do it at basically cost..

I presented the idea to the family, but they said Dan Sr. would rather finish it himself. He will most likely keep the boat.

As for the memorial on my house so you can tell your son about him 10 years from now.. 10 years from now you can come by and say hello to my 9 year old son Danny if everything goes to plan. So it will still work out.

As long as we don't have another Dave Johnson. Don't think the world can handle another one of them.

RIP Danny..

I was truely shocked when I read this. I met Danny at his shop when he hosted a RDP BBQ.

That is how I became friends with Pronstar and Ellabo etc...I also met RD and Stacy too. Hank's wife and I are pretty good friends after meeting at the bbq.

The girls kinda peeled off during the bbq while the boy's talked shop. Erika his girlfriend was so sweet fun and nice.

Since I am friends with Amy (Ellabo's wife) on Facebook. I saw many pictures of them having a great time at the Islander.

My heart sunk when I read of his passing.

Ironically how I stumbled upon RDP was because of another passing.

A couple years ago one of Photoglu's friends.. Caleb died in Hutington Harbor hitting the bridge. That was my best girlfriends b/f at the time.

We were at the river when we got the news.

While I didn't know Danny that well it was still heart breaking.

It is so hard to wrap your head around such a young vibrant person.

I have been thinking and praying about him and his family and friends alot
