Helen,
My sympathy goes out to you Helen.
Danny, was a very special friend of mine. We had a connection that was truly amazing. From the time we meet in 2009 our friendship grew and with time it was unbeliveable, I cannot explain it other than we got each other and were there to lend a hand when ever.
Life with out Danny, will be sad, as all roads he walked, he always had a smile and made the room lighten up. He would bring cheer and laughter to all that was close to him. He had a huge heart, and would help anyone in a heart beat. There are not enough words to describe all of his good deeds. He will be sadly missed by all his friends close and far…..
I was truly blessed by having Danny in my life, even if it was a short time.
You had an amazing husband. Remember all the good memories you had together as there were many.
Jennette
we will talk soon….

Dear Helen, So sorry to learn of Danny’s passing. It was such a shock as I didn’t know he’d been ill. He and you were so good to Denny (my late husband) and I while we lived on First Street and a good friend to me after I lost Denny. I will miss that great smile!

Dear Helen and Family: Danny made a huge impact on everyone he met. It is an unfortunate loss, but am relieved the suffering is over. Danny’s love of nature and all animals is entrusted to you. He was always there if you needed his help or just to listen to my tales of woe. I envision him on his Harley pain fee. He will be sadly missed by all.

Paul Hooper says
I too will miss that boisterous laugh and booming voice across many fairways. Danny was always fun to be around. My condolences to Helen and family.
Colin Springgay says
Danny was seriously funny. Danny was different. If you had a logo on your golf shirt, then Danny didn’t. There was never a quiet moment on the golf course with him. He would roar out some Canadian gibberish song, or karoke some lost and almost forgotten song from the 60’s. His smile was contagious. He would laugh the loudest laugh and then he would belt out a bible thumping rendition of the church choir. Never a dull moment. I will miss playing golf with Danny Cross.His name is engraved on the Bear Creek Shoot Out Trophy. Danny was not only my friend, he was friends with everybody. It was such a joy to be in his company.
Jamie Crowthers says
