Danny and his sister, Paula, started Charts, Inc., a gas measurement company, and worked together until they retired. Many of his employees have said that he was the best boss they ever worked for. He was a dedicated husband, father, grandfather and friend. He was sharp witted, intelligent, ornery, kind, thoughtful, wise, patient and so generous. He loved his family and friends so well. Danny was a vital part of the recovery community in Midland, always encouraging, listening, giving and sharing. Danny loved wildflowers, the mountains of Colorado, crossword puzzles, poetry, southern gospel music, playing the piano, playing 42, all kinds of sweets, antique clocks, phonographs, 78 rpm records, antiques and connecting with family on Ancestry. To know him was to love him and be loved by him.
