I am sorry to hear of the loss of Denzil. We were Army pals assigned to 7th.Field Hospital at Ft. Knox, KY. He was the company clerk and I was the company armorer . I had a car on base and we rode together several times coming home on a weekend pass. I think he lived on Millikan at the time. I am from Franklin. I remember Denzil as a super nice guy and friend although we didn’t stay in touch after he left the army in mid 1962. Again, I am sorry for your loss. Phillip (Jerry) Rhude
