Danny graduated from Immaculate Conception High School in Montclair where he was inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame.

Mount of Boston, Ma., his brothers John of Livingston, Robert and wife Marilyn of Whippany, his sister Rita Wehmeyer and husband Roy of Caldwell, and Pamela’s sisters Judith Walters and Janice Perih and husband Steve.
