David J. Denick

2021 and I just found this obituary on Mr. Denick. He was one of my absolute favorite teachers, so all inspiring. After being in his class he encouraged me to join Art Major Class the following year. Unfortunately, I did not sign up, being pulled towards music. When he realized I didn't sign up he asked me to come into his class on my study halls or whenever possible to help out some of the younger students, which I did and was very grateful for the opportunity. I think he did it more...

Donna, I'm sorry to say that I just learned of Dave's passing today while searching for an obituary in the Times Herald. I am deeply saddened. Dave & I were cousins & Jim & Dave friends & classmates at Upper Merion. My condolences to you & the Denick family.

I was very saddened to hear of David's passing. He was my photography teacher in High School at Pennsbury and had a profound influence on my life. He was by far the highest point of my High School days, he inspired me in many ways.

Donna, I was sorry to hear of Dave's passing, my sympathy to you, your son and daughter. God Bless you all.

I would like to express my sincerest sympathy to you and your family on Dave's passing. I learned about it from Don Jones, with whom I visited Dave's brother, Duker yesterday. I believe the last time we crossed paths was when Dave, Duker, Tom, Don Jones and myself returned from a fishing to Montauk,N.Y. and sorted out all the fish on your front yard. Again, like so many others, I was deeply saddened to hear of Dave's passing. Sincerely yours

I learned of David's passing only today, when I stopped in the Artisans of the World shop in St. Michaels, MD., to admire his works, again, as I have been doing for several years. Today, I was determined to bring one of his pieces home, and was delighted that the large, framed Maryland rockfish was still hanging on the wall. Then I learned of his passing. My condolences to you, Donna, and your family, friends, and aquaintances. I wish I had the opportunity to meet him. I will remember him...

I just got the word on Dave;s passing which saddens me greatly. Donna, we met about 25 years ago when I came out to your house in Mt Holly. I wanted to write to you to express my sadness but to let you know what an impact Dave had on my life. Like so many he introduced me to photography but he had a big influence on my life. Much more than any other professor I had through college. And the only one I have reached out to 35 years later. Dave will remain in my memories and I wish the very...
