Danny was a great guy, easy going, could do just about everything. Losing Danny is just as sad as it can be. – Ronnie and Mary Rondell (SU Co-Founder)

One of the truly good guys has moved on, but I will never forget the perpetual, warm smile, that always welcomed you. I was very fortunate to spend many of the golden years of Stunts Unlimited and our industry with Danny. He was a bad ass stuntman, had integrity, honesty, and always had his Brothers back. All the great assets we cherished back in the ‘old school’ days. Danny, you will be sorely missed, but never forgotten on my watch. I’ll see you on the other side. – Buddy Joe Hooker, SU
