MR April 8, 2016, 3:12 pm Nancy, Anne, Nathan, family & friends,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. We used to spend a lot of time together when I was part of the family. I miss you all and I wish I could have seen him when I visit this summer. Last year on 7/4 I had planned to come, looked up your phone, but then couldn\'t come. He leaves behind good friends, family, and good memories.

JR April 9, 2016, 1:48 pm Had lost track of him , but considered him a good friend . Sorry I was not in touch .

DM April 12, 2016, 8:59 pm I always looked up to Denny. He was older then me but always treated me as an equal. Maybe it was because we were both \'57 Chevy owners. To me that\'s a special club. R.I.P. Denny

PV April 13, 2016, 1:42 pm Dear Ann and family,
