Danny as he is known to family and friends married Marian Lorna Bailey Aleshire on March 19,1957 the mother of three young sons. Danny became an instant father to these boys Ronald, Dennis and Brian Aleshire. He was a "real" dad and the boys, especially Brian loved him deeply. He will be missed, but he is now with the love of his life Marian and no longer in pain. Danny passed away on Sunday the 28th of July at 1 in the afternoon. Funeral notification is pending. Danny served in WWII, the Korean war and was at Normandy beach. Danny played trumpet and adored the fact that his grandson Andrew Aleshire took after him in playing, so much so that he gave him a very old Coronet that he use to play. Andrew took lessons on this and the teacher exclaimed what a great instrument it was. Andrew proudly told everyone his Pappa Danny gave it to him. Danny is survived by Brian and Dennis his sons, grandchildren, great grandchildren and one great great grandson with a great great grand daughter on the way.

Danny, you will be missed, we love you so much, but know you are in a much better place with mom.
