I was Denny's doctor for and it was always interesting to care for him. He was an "original". He was usually involved in something political that was challenging to the status quo in a good way. We had many laughs. Thanks, Dennis!

I met Denny through my life long friend Norm. They both convinced me to leave my job at Model Cities and join the law coop. Denny became a dear friend and a mentor. He was always generous with his time, advice, and humor. With my wife Barbara, we had great times with Mary Ellen, Denny, and Norm at many Jazzfests. I learned a lot from Denny and I will miss him.

I was close to Denny's family during high school. Denny had graduated a year before me, but came home often. One time he and I took their Lincoln down to Mt. Pleasant for service.

I have fond memories of Denny from when I would visit my cousin Norm at the law co-op on Friday afternoons and we would throw darts and just hang out. Condolences to all his family and friends. RIP Denny

I knew Denny through my husband Norm. Both men practiced law always on the side of the people and their rights. Denny was a really good man. He and Norm shared a lifelong friendship until Norm passed in June 2024. I know they are together somewhere hatching some new ways to help our country get out of this mess. Enjoy life on the other side Denny. Alice
