He loved pouring over The Singing News Magazine every month and never threw any of them away. As much as Danny loved gospel music and attending concerts, the thing he adored the most was spending time with his 3 grandsons.  He retired from Litho Krome in Columbus, GA after 30 plus years of service. He is preceded in death by his father, Lloyd Bailey, and his father-in-law O.B. Easom.
