There was a huge party at the McDonald’s on Grand River in Brighton today. Friends, family, and co-workers of a man withe special needs celebrated his more than three-decade long career.

Monday was his last day on the job as lobby manager at the restaurant. McDonald’s surprised him with gifts, cake, cookies, and a party.

“Everybody could learn from Daniel,” said David Glynn, the restaurant’s General Manager. “Being a team player and smiling. It doesn’t matter what is going on in the world. Daniel brings that to us in the restaurant.”

Daniel didn’t know he was going to have a party.
