Lt. Commander Daniel “Danny” Rodriguez passed away on January 28th. He was our Nurses Training Director, and a big reason why our little program is off to a great start. He couldn’t make our meetings after after his health declined, but he was always there cheering us on and answering questions when we needed him.

You might consider sharing your memories of him there, or extend condolences to his family.
At the memorial service at St. Mark’s in Kenosha, Danny’s daughter was there to greet us — answering questions and sharing memories with the same warmth and kindness her father was known for.
Not many people call me Senior Chief any more, but the Commander did. I’m going to miss him.
