He was a awesome classmate. I want to share a story that I have told Danny in the past and to others bc it is a great story. This goes back to when we all were in 9 th grade. I went to Eastern before Northwood and we were playing Sligo in soccer. Danny played for Sligo. He and I competed again each other in a well fought game. I said then, thank god I'm going to NorthwoodHS bc I want to play with him. Then when I went to NHS and he wasn't playing soccer but football. I asked him why, and Danny said bc he really didn't like playing it. I thought that was amazing bc he was so good. Danny showed that he was great at whatever he played(Football-basketball-wrestling-track). We always use to joke about it later when we saw each other. It is something that I have and will always remember about Danny Miller. He will be missed.
