I was so sad to hear about Denny. It seems a person retires to do the things we want and then something happens. I played golf with Denny in the Seagate Golf league for many years.We played together on the same team. We had lots of fun and good memories. We shall all miss him.

Dear Aunt Shirley, Diane, DJ, and family,
It is with great sadness as I sit here and write this note to you all. I wish I could have been there with you.
I will remember this past April as a sad but good one. I was able to see Uncle Denny one last time. I appreciate the time I got to spend with him, even though it was short. Please know I am thinking of all of you everyday. Hold on to all the great memories you have of your life together with him.
If you ever...

Dear Shirley,
My deepest sympathy to you and your family. Denny will be dearly missed by all of us. I will always remember his pride in everything he did: whether it was mechanical design at work, relentless thrashing of my softball team in the old MPI league, or his unwavering support of Minnesota college and pro sports teams in flaming e-mails that a group of us exchanged in good humor.

Shirley,
We are really going to miss Denny stopping over for just "the heck" of it. He was a wonderful caring man, with so much love for his family. Take good care of Shadow for Denny. You can count on us if you need anything at all. Our deepest sympathy.
