    My sincere condolences to the family of Danny Joe. I always considered Danny Joe a good friend. I loved playing golf with Danny Joe at the Gambit. We had a great time because we were the same type of player. As he always said “We may not hit it the farthest, but it will be in the middle!” and it was. I have thought about him a lot over the past couple of years and often prayed that he would recover, but God had other plans. I think he’s playing on a better golf course now and enjoying every minute of it! I am sorry I will not be able to attend his memorial but did want you to know that he is deeply missed.
    May God bless all of you and help you through this tough time. Truly missing him, Greg Gorden.
