Erika and DJ and family, my heart goes out to you at this difficult time. I was sad to hear that Dennis had passed, he was like family to me and my family. My dad and Dennis had grown up together, I just know that they are together again swapping fishing stories. RIP Dennis. With Love, Janis (Brown) Melohusky and family

I remember Denny from the earliest days of my childhood. He was always so giving, giving me a few bucks to take a date out to a movie, his time, gave me a car in high school, helped me get my job at Boeing, on and on. He would literally give you everything he owned if you asked. He was adored by everybody he knew at Boeing...and he knew everybody! People are constantly asking me if I am Dennis' brother, and they always tell me how much they like him. I will miss our phone calls about the latest Mariners/Husky/Seahawks/whatever games...and keeping him up with the latest happenings at Boeing, he loved it there! I will miss him dearly, he was such a great brother.
Denny had an infectious smile!
