I knew Mr.Denny when I was at his son Irv Jr. house.Also during hunting season,Irv Sr. was always good to me.I knew more about him from his son Irv Jr. and when Irv told me things Irving Sr. he sounded more like my father all the time, He cared very much about his family and I know for a fact that his family loved him deeply, One thing Irving Sr. gave me That I will always be grateful to him for is a great family of friends and most of all a Brother in Irving Jr. we may not be brothers in blood but I will always consider him as my brother forever and for that as I said I will always be grateful too him.

To Marge, and the Denny Family:

On behalf of both my immeadiate and extended family, I would like to extend my Condolences to you and "Denny's" family... I grew up knowing Denny when he first came to my parents home. He was a Gentle man who had a huge heart and who would help just about anyone.

Steph, we used to work together long ago at BC/BS Medicare. I always held high respect for your granddad for the help he gave my family and even me thru the years. I will miss his stories. I had the opportunity to visit with both he and Marge during my last visit to NY a few months back and was shocked to hear of his passing from my mom. He will always be remembered by everyone in my family. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers

I would like to start by thanking everyone who has sent condolences. We could never express how much comfort it has given us.
I realize this foram is for condolences. However it is also a unique oppurtunity to say a few things that we may not be able to say. When I was pregant for Stephanie I remember thinking that my father-in-law probaly would'nt be a very involved Grandfather. He acted to gruff.But. when the baby came he smuggled ice cream into the hospital. We lived with my mother and father-in-law and he couldn't have been more involved with her. He was the best Grandfather to both my Kids and if I could have talked them into it I would have gotten them to wear bibed Overhalls to the services to honor him..It was the very first thing he bought both Steph and Skip when they were babies. He said "There now you have a pair of hogwasher like Grampa." His nick name for Steph was the pig kid and Skip was the hog kid. God Bless You Big Irv.
You will always be with us. I love you

I`m sitting here trying to figure out what to write. I guess I`ll share a story from when I was about four years old or so. Grandpa would be getting ready to go pick up some cars or what ever it was that day and he would`ld ask me if I wanted to go "trucking`". Of course the answer would be yes who wouldn't want to go cruising` for the day with Grandpa in the big truck? We would be gone all day long , I remember feeling so small in the huge seat. I also remember thinking he must have known a million people at least because he was always beeping and waiving. ( not until I was older and could see out the window did I find out a lot of the time he was doing it to be funny.)But come to find out, he really did seem to know about half a million people any way. I will miss him and his stories and odd sense of humor. I may just recreate the beep and wave. I love you Grandpa.

I remember Denny very well he was a great man. When I was a kid and Denny would come to our house my sister Kathy and I would always get him to do a card reading for us.I hadn't seen your dad in years until a year ago when we were out driving around with my brother Bobby and his wife, he was out side and we stopped he hadn't changed over the years. He was a great guy. Always made you laugh. I can remember watching him crush cars at my brother-in laws too.
Sorry to here of his passing God Bless all of you.

I have many memmories of Irving. The most fondest beeing that he would dress up as Santa when we were Children and visit our house and give us a special gift. He would do that for many families. Irving was certainly a hard working man, always busy doing something. He was a long time companion of my Grandmother-Marjorie. He will be deeply missed.

I had the pleasure to know Irving for several years as my neighbor and as a friend. I was always impressed with his work ethic, his honesty and his zest for life.
Irving was always available to help anyone that needed help and he would expect nothing in return.
He will be missed by all of us that knew him.
Marge, you and the rest of the family will be in our prayers.
