Si, wouldn't you just know that I had the picture of you used in this Guest Book. I wish you could have been here longer for the kids and the rest of the family, and especially Em, but God had different ideas for you. May you rest in peace and as time passes we will always remember you and all the good times. Arla Simon

What a guy..!! I have such fond memories of him, the laughter especially. I would run into him often at Levitz those many years ago, and it was always a treat. Always showed such love and caring. Many blessings to all of you who loved him.

I remember Denny from when I was much younger and my fondest memory is that he could always make me laugh. I use to tell my friends what a great looking brother-in-law I had. He'll be missed by everyone that had the pleasure of knowing him.

The Chief Goomba was a classic among classics and I never had a meeting with him that didn't have me laughing till tears were in my eyes. He loved his kids and life itself and worked through any hurdles thrown at him...He'll be missed greatly but now he's playing to the 'big room' and will entertain many new faces and see old friends that have gone before him...Cheers Goomba for all the memories...
