Don't think Danny had an excess of pride. He was always a modest man, it seems. "Pride comes before a fall". If I had a tenth of his humour and humanity, I would be pleased. At any age, in any age, we can look to role models. Not obsessively - just in passing. And extract a mickle here, and a muckle there. He had a profoundly contemplative streak. Truly mindful people usually do.
