Danny

Things Danny loved

  • Saturday mornings coaching the Eastside Comets
  • Lena’s laugh, and making it happen
  • A grill, a cooler, and too many people in the yard
  • Any road trip with no plan
  • Dancing at weddings, especially Sofia’s
  • Loud music with the windows down
  • Tacos al pastor from the truck on Fifth Street
  • Telling the same three jokes, and laughing hardest

“If the music isn’t loud, it isn’t a party.” Danny, every summer.

Danny fixed air conditioners for thirty-eight years and fixed most of the neighborhood’s bad days along the way.

A poem

Crossing the Bar

Sunset and evening star,

And one clear call for me!

And may there be no moaning of the bar,

When I put out to sea,

But such a tide as moving seems asleep,

Too full for sound and foam,

When that which drew from out the boundless deep

Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell,

And after that the dark!

And may there be no sadness of farewell,

When I embark;

For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place

The flood may bear me far,

I hope to see my Pilot face to face

When I have crost the bar.

Alfred, Lord Tennyson, 1889. Public domain.
