      Such a big loss of a wonderful neighbor. Always enjoyed talking and listening to his stories. Danny had a heart of gold and never met a stranger. Heaven has gained another angel.

      To the Kloss Family: We have known Danny and his wonderful family for 40 years. We have had the pleasure of sharing many wonderful family events together during that time. We hunted pheasants at Carlyle lake and rabbit hunted together as well. We will miss Danny, and wish to send our sincere condolences to all of the Kloss family.
