Danny was raised in Belchertown and Ware, the son of the late Robert M. and Virginia (Pero) Witt where he attended Ware High School. He worked for many years with the Hersey and Palmer Foundries and later worked as a groundkeeper with Kanzaki Paper in Ware until his retirement. Danny enjoyed his Harley Davidson and his 1947 Ford Convertible which he personally restored many times. He loved listening to music, going to the movies and having movie nights with his grandkids where he eagerly declared himself the candy and snack aficionado. Known to many as “The go to guy”, if you were repairing your car, building a home, garage or general yard maintenance, Danny always made himself available to provide help. He enjoyed the outdoors, specifically gardening, yard work and mostly the time he could spend with his family.
