Danny worked at Mead for 40 plus years. He enjoyed watching the Bengals, Reds, and Buckeyes with family and friends. He was happiest spending time with family and friends around the pool and hosting cookouts, and when he was not doing those things you would find him out cutting his grass and taking care of things around the property.
