Hey Danny, I will always remember our day out bar hopping on Mille Lacs Lake!
Doc and I really enjoyed our selves.
When I asked you how much has does it take to go completely around the lake,
Your answer was “ well I guess we will find out won’t we?”
Not 5 minutes later we ran out of gas and had to be rescued….
We got back to shore, got gas and back where we launched just as the sun was setting!
All in all it was a blast!
I hope you and Doc meet up and can tell stories to each other!
To the family my deepest sympathy
He was a great guy! God bless 🙏❤️
Condolences to Danny’s family and freinds. Hugs to you all
