The grand measure of the man: a loving husband, a caring father, a doting grandfather, a generous friend and kind neighbor. May your cherished memories of this beloved man offer some small comfort at this time of grief.

To the Dennehy Family: Mr. Dennehy (I meet him in as a child so will always call him that) and Mrs. Dennehy both had a integrity, morales and lived with those values and they are instilled in their children. Mr. Dennehy was fair, honest and knew what was right and wrong. I wish there were more people like this. He did not need or expect any attention for his being good, he just was that way. I am so sorry he passed and my heart goes out to all of you who had loved him. I am sure you all will miss him very much.
