Sue and Family, I have been out of town for a couple of weeks and I just heard this morning of Denny's passing. We send our deepest condolences to the entire Brown Family. I have many fond memories of the times that I spent with Denny playing on the baseball team for Mr. Pond at WC High School and playing basketball with Denny at Grasson's Barn in Beavercreek and also working with him at General Motors. I also enjoyed watching Little Dabs Baseball Team when our sons played together for Denny. The boys loved him! He was a great coach. Again, our deepest sympathy from the entire Hull Family.

Our thoughts are with the family. Brett had a wonderful year with a great coach. He knew how to make the kids laugh and work hard to achieve their goals at the same time.

I graduated from WCHS in 1961. I remember Denney when he was a Union Rep at Frigidaire and I was a supervisor there. We had a great relationship He and I concerned over the same employees each with a little different slant. I respected him tramendously.

I have great memories living across from Denny and his family growing up. He always seemed to enjoy life whether it was band, football, or running the steam engine with his father. Condolences to his wife Sue and their family.
