I knew Denny from Northwestern, and so long ago only seems like yesterday, doesn't it? Denny always treated me kindly, and as a friend, and that's how I'll remember him. Although the years passed in a flash, I'll only think of him like it was yesterday when everything was all good. God bless your family and may He guide you as you cope with your loss.

"There's something about childhood friends that you just can't replace." Denny was one of those special childhood friends. I've known him for the greater part of my life. I guess when we were kids we thought we were just having a good time. We didn't realize that we were making memories...memories that would last a lifetime. I feel fortunate to have reconnected with Denny in recent years through the ROMEO CLUB and Juliet group...just a bunch of old friends having fun and making new...
