I was lucky enough to be Dennys sister-in-law. I will never forget Shane Park Fair when I was only 12.

Glo, Mark, Ryan and Bridget,
Denny is an example of a life wonderfully lived. Just the memory of Denny automatically brings a smile to our face. Denny is such a faithfilled man. God knows his name and He has called him home. To us it is such a loss and just way too soon. To Denny, it must be a victory. We are praying for all of you as you journey through this difficult time.

Gloria and Family,
We have been in shock and saddened with the loss of Denny.
Living 9 years on Coldwater Rd., we became so fond of Joe and Marion. We bonded with the land and thus had a natural bond with Denny when he visited and shared his love of the land. His great enthusiasm and smile was contagious, always full of passion for life. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Thank You Denny, for all you did to help with the birth of the Clermont High School Soccer Team all those years ago. You helped that team have a winning season, even thou we lost every game! A lot of kids are playing high school soccer because of his energy. Jim Baysinger, coach.

Mr. Hillary was a buddy of mine as long as I can remember. Almost every spring break Mom and Dad (Lew and Cindy) would pack up the van or station wagon and head down to Fla to visit. I have a memory from when I was about 7 or 8yrs old on the cattle farm of Denny jumping out of the Jeep and grabbing up a baby gator from the swamp. He had Mrs. Hillary screaming and all us kids in awe. His smile was the brightest. My deepest thoughts and prayers to Glo and family! My Dads best friend taught me...

I had the pleasure of knowing both Denny and Hillary at Clermont High School. They both were very special. Even though our loved ones are gone from this life, they live forever in our hearts....Judy Lillard McCullough, Henderson, NV
