He also enjoyed baseball and football and enjoyed watching his grandchildren play. But his favorite thing to do in his later years was to go dancing and singing at The Moose Lodge and St. Mary's Landing. He became known as "Dancing Danny". He loved telling stories with his good buddies, Tink Farrell, Eddie Faunce, and Sonny Guy. His grandchildren would listen and fall on the ground laughing at the tales. He loved to go hunting with his grandsons and his nephews, then they would come back and tell big stories about their hunting experiences and laugh at the tales. He loved to dance with his wife, then he taught each daughter and granddaughter how to waltz. No one will ever twirl us around the floor the way our Daddy did. You felt like the whole world was watching as you danced.
