I spoke with Leann Fritz who lived with Dan. She came from work yesterday about 3 in the afternoon and found him lying peacefully on the bed. She did CPR and called the paramedics but they said he had been gone for a couple of hours already. Actual cause of death 'not specified' and Danny's sister agreed with Leann that an autopsy was not necessary and certainly not dignified.

Dan had suffered with Chronic Pulmonary Disease for quite some time. She said it was like a combination asthma & bronchitis. She and Dan brought her Mom to live with them (upstairs - she is aged and dying) and Leann had noticed that Dan was very winded this last week when he went up to see her. Dan had polyps removed from his throat 2 weeks ago. As he was over 50, the doctors did an EKG and must have seen something they didn't like because they called to schedule a 'stress test'. Then canceled the 'stress test' and did the surgery anyway. So it may have been his heart that gave out.

Danny said once that he wanted to be laid out in his ADO blazer, his BDO tie, his Chef's hat and 'pig pin' so That is Leann's plan.

A Saturday 'visitation' 11am to 4pm followed by a short service at Cooney's Funeral Home - 3918 W. Irving Park Rd. - Chicago. IL Then Dan will be cremated.

Please forward this to all you feel should know. Thank you.
