I will always carry fond memories and much love in my heart for the Folsom family. My condolences and tears are shared with you for your loss. I will always remember the nights at Noble Romans, or the many cook outs with Danny. He was a great coach and mentor. God Bless, and always remember the spirit is propelled beyond earths bounds by our graciousness. Danny’s sprit has reached those heights.

I went to school with Ann and Mike at St. Lawrence. I met their dad when I came over to their house throughout the years. Their dad was a good honest man, a straight-talker to be sure from what I remember. He will be missed. I’m so sorry for your loss. Please know that your family is in my prayers. May God’s peace be with you as you remember all the great memories of a great man. I’m glad to have met him all those years ago.

Nancy, Mike and Ann:
So sorry to hear about the passing of Danny. Living next door to your family as I grew up, I saw the love you had for each other. My memories of Danny and your family include feeling at home in your home, playing in your pool and snowmobiling in the fields. I remember his great pig roasts/parties with all the big wigs of the Indy 500. My prayers are with your family as you grieve the loss of your husband and father! Nancy, your faith in God stands out in my mind as strong and full and I’m sure Jesus will hold you and minister to you in this tough season of loss. Love to you all, Judy Clarke Christian
