He was scared but still took time to help me. When he came to my fundraiser here in Virginia he was all I hoped for. I first saw him when I met him and his wife, Marcee, at the park where we held the walk. He was a smaller man but had a HUGE impact on all around him. Two of my older girls were with me and he walked around the park with us, keeping us all laughing and happy. He had a wonderful personality that drew people to him, that was obvious. My heart goes out to Marcee and her son and daughter for losing Danny so early. I'm sure his love and life lessons will live on in his children. I bet he's cracking jokes for all the Angels right now and making Heaven an even brighter place. If anyone deserves Heaven it's Danny Bogan and I know he is there right now, rooting all of us on in our fights.
