Danny was born in Marlborough to the late Ernest W. Henry and Mildred L. Friars. He graduated in 1976 from Algonquin Regional High School as a National Honor Society member. While at Algonquin, he played basketball and his team won the Midland League title and the Clark Tournament.

Danny enjoyed running, fishing, kayaking and hiking. He and his wife Linda loved to travel to Costa Rica.
