Daniel J. Houck, lifelong resident of Bowie, MD, passed away on November 30 at his home following a brief illness, at the age of 57. Known as “Digger” to his friends, he attended Bowie High school where he lettered in football, graduating in the class of 1981. He was employed for 25 years with the family business, Gringada Mexican Restaurant in Bowie and Beltsville, MD, where he served as manager and cook.

Danny participated in the Bowie boys and girls club program for many years and was an avid sportsman who continued to participate as player/coach in city-wide men’s unlimited football and softball leagues. He was a dedicated fan of the Baltimore Orioles and of the Washington Redskins.
