Born June 7, 1947 in Montreal Quebec.
Died May 14, 2001 in Hull Quebec.
Danny was the first born child of Mary Elizabeth Finnerty and Roger Morin.

Danny as he was affectionately called by everyone) spent his younger years annoying his sister Patty endlessly, as Patty explains it “The Friendly Giant” (a popular TV Show of our time) would open the show and the giant would point to two chairs - a rocking chair and a chair for two to curl up in for his imaginary friends to use.  Danny would immediately say "I get the rocking chair" and no matter how much I ranted and raved to my Mother, Danny always got the rocking chair. This sibling rivalry (about the chair) went on through all our lives with Danny always winning Mother's favour, we laughed about the silliness of it all years later, until a few days before his death Danny hugged me and with a twinkle in his eye he told me I could have the rocking chair. I will cherish our imaginary little game forever.

To have a big brother that was so precious to family and friends, it will be difficult to imagine a life without him His smile humour kindness and fun will be dearly missed by all he knew , but his warmth and humanity will live on forever. Although Danny’s wealth was not that of gold his generosity was second to none.  Suffice it to say If I could have one lifetime wish, a dream that could come true I’d pray to God with all my heart,  for yesterday and you.

Although Danny had no children of his own his partner Gisele and her children could not have been treated with more love and respect, the same for his nieces and nephews.  He used to take my kids in his arms and hold them so tightly and tell them he loved them - Chelsey my daughter was his God Daughter and his pride and joy.  He would brag about her constantly and could never get enough of her wacky personality.

I have never seen a child bond so well with his parents as Danny did, he was not just their son he was their best friend.  He adored my Mother and Father and would walk to the end of the earth to make them happy, he cherished every moment that he spent with them.

Danny was my rock and supported me through every decision in my life whether he agreed with it or not I shall miss him terribly but, I thank you for being the person you were and especially for being my big brother.

My Uncle Danny meant the world to me. He was probably the only one who could stand to sit and listen to me talk hours on end about horses, as he shared the same passion. And this passion we can proudly thank our "Grampa-in-Heaven" for. He would listen and give advice, but the one thing he would say over and over and I will never forget was; "...always have gentle hands." To this day I use that advice when I am training colts for show. Everytime I win a ribbon or medal, I can feel the sun shine warm on my face, and I know its him smiling at me...thank you for Nimbus, Uncle Danny, he is such a good boy......
