My friend & mentor for 36 years. When ever I would say something about working for you, you would always say" No we work together" We were a team to all we knew and represented. You were always their when needed and you were truly like a big brother to me.. You will be missed by me. Next to your love of family & friends flying must have been up there too, I am sure you now have your wings in Heaven.

McFaddens.. Very sorry to hear of the loss of big Denny from St. Lawrence Way. I apologize for missing the service it was my intent to make it but things happened and could not get away. It would have been great to see everyone. I may drive up just see Meg visiting Doylesburg again. I know your father lived a fun and full life. We were all very fortunate to know him and we Duffy's will keep all of you in our thoughts and prayers. The Sugarbottom gang is a small gang we have to stay strong.

Hope to see you soon!

So sad today to realise that we will never have the pleasure of Denny's physical presence here in Donegal again, but he will be with us in spirit. If there ever was somebody who loved to come to visit in Donegal it was Denny. We have so many happy memories of Denny and Anita and indeed all the extended family here on various occasions. He particularly loved Dunfanaghy and Hornhead and couldn't wait to pay a visit there as soon as he came. We loved you in life Denny and we will never forget you in death.

When I think of Denny, I always think of his smile and great laugh. He passed that down to his kids and my sweet sister in law Sue (Quirk). He leaves his legacy to his 10 grandkids as well who all received his wonderful spirit. I know his family wishes he were still here but I admire how much he got out of Life, not everyone can say that. RIP Mr McFadden and God Bless your family and help them get through this painful time. How blessed everyone was to have such a special father, husband, sibling, uncle,Pop and friend.

Denny was a great friend for 25 years. We first met at the Doylestown YMCA, were he was an active member for many years, we would also meet frequently after mass at OLMC. He always was available for a conversation, a good joke, he was a great listener and empathetic as well. We had many laughs and great conversations together. He was a contributor and campaign worker at the Y as well. His warm smile and engaging personality will be greatly missed.
