Not sure what to say?

Proud to have called this man my housemate, classmate and Friend.. Rare kid, so much more than the sum of his parts. RIP Denny

I was so sorry to hear of Denny's passing. I will never forget the kindness and hospitality I received from him and Valerie. Love, Andrew Meltzer

My thoughts were with you and many nights of tears and rewrites albeit without Wild Irish Rose. You were the best of us and thanks to your sister's invasion of your privacy the most decorated. Of the draft class of "66, only eight returned to unite and celebrate. You and the Priest from Rochester at his families Susquehanna River cottage held us all together with wine and all night talk sessions, long before PTSD was known to be what we addressed. As the last of the eight, I will mourn...

To the Connors Family,

It's with great sadness that I read of Denny's passing. knew Denny at North High and after his time in Vietnam, at Cortland. He was an exceptional individual and a great wrestler too boot. Many years have passed and reading of his accomplishments did not surprise me. I remember him as a very focused individual and it's evident by the life he lead. May he Rest In Peace.

I am so glad I was able to meet Dennis two years ago while working on a biography of the sculptor George Rickey. For more than 15 years Dennis was an invaluable assistant and eventually foreman of the Rickey workshop in East Chatham, NY. I am sorry he did not live to see my book published and his loyal assistance honored in print, for the ages. He was a highly original sculptor too, in his own right.
My sincere condolences to the family,
Belinda Rathbone

I knew Dennis from working at JFK and GW schools since 2006. He was wonderful to work with and was truly an inspiration to his students. His artistic talent showed through in some special projects we did with "our kids". He was a great teacher and friend. I know he loved his family and especially the grands! So sorry to hear of his passing. There will be no more fun lunches to be had with Denny and friends.

I am sorry to hear of Dennis' passing. I worked with him at JFK for several years. He always made me laugh. He will be missed.
