Danny enjoyed all sports but handball and boating were his favorite. He loved hitting the little ball and running after it. He would run so fast he would bang into the wall. He always had time for family. Many times he would take us to Catalina Island on his Searay. We were never scared because we were with him. He also had many other hobbies and interests. After retirement he took up cabinetry work and redesigned and upgraded our kitchen and bathrooms. He was also quite the handyman around the house. There wasn't anything he could not fix.

He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, uncle, and brother who will be dearly missed. Danny was preceded in death by his daughter Marie, his 2 brothers Jesse and Louis Diaz and a sister Margie Leon and his parents. He is survived by his wife Rose, daughter Cheryl's son, Edward Kenneth Lesniewski, grandson Edward Jr., his brother Joe, nieces Aileen, Jeanette, Alicia, Jenny, and nephews Joe, Diego, Michael, Daniel, and Bobby.
