Danny was my friend & he is missed. Karen & I have him in our thoughts. We extend our condolences to all members of his immediate & extended family.
I was extremely saddened to hear of Danny’s passing. Although I have not spoken to him for several years, he has always been in my heart, a good and true friend. I am sorry for your loss Lorraine, Sheila and Maureen and to all your families.
Dear Maureen,Sheila, and Lorraine: I just recently heard about Danny. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I had not seen Danny in a long time but I always remembered him as a good person and a good friend. I will miss him very much. He left us far to soon. I still remember the first time I met Danny, I believe it was 1973 when the family moved to Hyde Park from Dorchester. I was sitting on my front wall and Danny came up and introduced himself. And from there I met the rest of the family. For me it’s strange no longer having the Galvin family in Hyde Park. If only we could turn back the hands of time. But we can’t. We have to move forward and keep Danny’s memory alive in our hearts and prayers. Respectfully yours, Russell T. Dikmak.
I had lost all the numbers in my phone so decided to google danny because I missed him – only to find out this devastating news…he was one of a kind and I’ll miss him terribly. My heart goes out to his family and heather.
Dear Maureen, Sheila and Lorraine-sorry for your loss-I always looked forward to seeing him whenever the families got together. He was funny and always supplied a great sense if humor. I can still remember him singing Hey Jude at Sheila and Mikes wedding. My prayers are with you all at this time. Love, Allyson Troy, Maine
