He was a good friend. Daniel Frydrych was 11 when he died of cancer on Feb. 1. His friends at Rampello Downtown Partnership, where Daniel was a sixth-grader, will remember him Thursday in special ways. Looking into the night sky, they can pick out a star in the constellation Orion they had named after him with money they raised. They wear wristbands in school colors that read "A Starry Night." Before he died, Daniel painted a picture of himself climbing a ladder into a starry-night sky. They'll donate all proceeds from A Starry Night inaugural benefit concert to local nonprofit Faces of Courage, which helps children and families battling cancer. Throughout his 21/2-year battle with cancer, the organization helped Daniel and his parents, Holley Wade, a Hillsborough County emergency planner, and Daniel's stepfather, Tampa Fire Rescue Capt. Bill Wade. The event starts at 5:30 p.m. Thursday in Rampello's cafeteria, 802 E Washington St. For tickets, or to sponsor the event, call 226-8970 by Wednesday.
