Ann...I am sorry this is so late. I am pretty disconnected from Georgia these days and just read of Danny's passing in the Alumni log. It will be hard to remember but I was one of the people on the PMRC crew in the summer of 1977...Duke Camp, Lake Waccamaw and Emerald Isle NC. I remember that summer so well, and you and Danny. It is incredible sometime when you think back on your life and the things you remember, and as soon as I learned about Danny I flashed back to those days so vividly. You were both warm and open as a married couple among a bunch of college guys....probably difficult for you but I never noticed if it was. Warm wishes....Jim Smith

Danny was a great friend and helped in the identification of plants and trees in Oaky Woods. We had many enjoyable days scouting and exploring the woods and he will be greatly missed! The world lost a excellent forester and man of high ideas and excellent character . My sympathies to his family who he loved dearly.

Ann – My deepest sympathies go out to you and your family. My heart sank and was so saddened when I read the email announcing Danny’s passing. I always regretted losing track of y’all after graduating from forestry school together. However, over all these years, any communication from UGA or the Warnell group would always bring back for me such fond memories of our tight group and the time we all spent together: working on projects, having outdoor dendrology classes with Dr. Fitzgerald, those crazy field trips, and being at your wedding. Danny was always such a solid, hardworking, down to earth, good guy. I know he will be missed by many, including his wonderful, loving family.

Danny was a great friend of mine from HS and college days. He was the best defensive player on the Perry High football team. He was a determined and conscientious student at UGA. Observant, very sharp, funny but not at the expense of hurting other people. He was a kind and helpful person. I admire the way he looked after his family and the love and dedication he showed is an example to all husbands and fathers. I am sad he was taken from us so soon.

I first met Danny in the early 1990's when we were harvesting timber on P&G land. He was always the consummate professional when conducting business. His handshake and his word were always firm and reassuring. He was respected and loved by so many!

Deepest condolences to Danny's family. Such a tragic loss. I worked with Danny for several years at Weyerhaeuser. Forever etched in my memory is Danny playing that bass guitar in the band with Jim Cupp, Rick Cooper and Larry Hutchens. Great memories and great friends.
