I am sorry to learn of Danny's passing. We grew up together in Van Hook/New Town North Dakota and had not seen him in years. I'll never forget when we were in high school his dad bought a brand new 1957 Chevy (turqouise/white) and at the time it was the fastest car made, 0-60 in like 6 seconds. Danny and Larry proved it on Highway 23 west of the Scenic. I am pleased to learn he was a military hero and served his country honorably. RIP "Pete" Phillippi! Bill Nesheim

"Pete" my youngest brother .. he will be missed. Memories of him when he was in
better health will always be cherished.
What I loved about him most of all was that contagious laugh of his. He was a good man, a good provider and a good neighbor begining at a very early age. He dearly loved hs wife, Clarice, and son Brian, his brother Larry and wife Karen, and won the hearts of so many others.

"Pete" my youngest brother... I shall always remember him
for that contagious laugh of his. He had many talents. And I shall always admire him for his military achievements. He had many leadership skills, and had a
heart as big as Pikes Peak.
My condolences to you Clarice his beloved wife, and
to you Brian his only son.
And, of course, I too will also shall miss him very much!
Sincerely and with love from Velma
