Entertainer Danny Gans Found Dead

Tragic news today of the death of local entertainer Danny Gans. He was found dead early this morning after complaining of breathing troubles.

Gans was one of the cities finest entertainers. As an impressionist and singer, it was in a class by all alone.

He was also quite an athlete. I hit baseballs with Gans a few times while he was a guest on one of my sports shows. As a former minor league baseball player he showed he still had his stuff. He could hit a baseball a ton. He was also big baseball fan. I recall running into him down in Anaheim one evening for an Angels game and we spend a couple innings talkin' baseball. I played in his charity golf tournament a few times and they were always some of the best in town. He donated much of his time to his various charities.

He will be missed on so many levels.

Danny Gans was 52 years old.
