Danny and his brother-in-law, Michael Myers, started an electronic business out of a garage that they turned into a prosperous business over the years. The success that Bristol Electronics had made it possible for Danny to retire at a young age. In his free time he loved flying, playing the banjo, and spending time with family and friends. Danny also enjoyed his many trips to his Florida home, as well as renovating the barn and property that him and Jeannie lived on in Salem, Wisconsin.
