The first time I met Danny (my wife’s cousin) was in San Diego. At the time my wife and I were dating and I had just got back from Iraq. We decided to go to San Diego for a vacation and one night we met up with Danny for dinner. As we are walking to our table at the restaurant Danny randomly stops by a few tables and lets strangers know that I am in the United States Air Force, I fix helicopters and just got back from Iraq! I didn’t know what was going on, it was like he knew everybody in the restaurant! I had a blast at dinner that night getting to know Danny. He was really funny and a genuine person. When it came time to pay for the meal Danny was trying to get the waiters attention but little did he know that I had already given the waiter my card. Danny was shocked that I paid for our meal and he got upset because he wanted to pay for dinner! I now live in Okinawa, Japan so Danny let me know when you want out come out here and buy us dinner!

​

At my wedding the DJ had the person who caught the bouquet sit on a chair so the person who caught the garter could place it on her leg. Danny was the lucky winner of the garter toss. I am sure that most of everyone has heard of Rico Suave or perhaps Don Juan. But let me tell you who the real lady’s man is… that’s right the one and only Danny Cardella!! The performance that Danny put on was no short of AMAZING! I felt like I owed him money at my own wedding! My wife and I were smart enough to video our wedding, so we will always have Danny’s performance. Whenever my wife and I watch our wedding video we alwayss watch Danny’s part twice. Danny you really gave us a special memory that we will never forget!

​

Happy Birthday, Danny. I hope you have a great day you deserve it! I wish you all the best you always keep Angela and I laughing and we miss you! Happy 40th Rico Suave aka Don Juan aka "DANNY CARDELLA"!

God Bless,
