Not sure what to say?

I will always remember how much fun I had at Dennis and Peggy’s house as a little girl. (Peggy watched me while my mom was working.) Dennis would play with me when he got home from work- he was always so happy to see me- and Peggy would curl my hair and dress me up. I sure got spoiled by them both. I remember them coming to my birthday party at Sizzler! I sure felt loved by Dennis and Peggy, and will always have fond memories of my time in their care. Sending my sincerest and heartfelt...

Sending thoughts and prayers to the Torgeson family. We have so many fond memories of Dennis....Megan was so fortunate to have both Dennis and Peggy spoil her rotten! Sending you our love,
Shelley and Craig Dewey

Denny and I were long time friends going back to our high school days in Portland. It was always a pleasure to run into him at car show events. I am so very sorry that he lost his battle to cancer. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Denny was a long time friend dating back to our high school days. Always a pleasure to run into him at car show events. So very sorry that he lost his battle. Prayers and thoughts go out to his family.

So sad to get the news of Dennis passing. He was so looking forward to riding the Norton this spring last we communicated by text. I was looking forward to coming down on my motorcycle to visit with him. I wanted to see in person how the Norton I'd sold him in pieces had turned out. RIP brother. We'll ride together another time!

Denny was always eager to plan and go off on an adventure — whether it was in his Alfa Spider, his modern sport tourer or his Norton Commando motorcycle, or any of the other numerous perfectly restored and equipped vehicles he owned over the years. At some point at every event he would comment, “well boys it doesn't get any better than this”. You are greatly missed Denny. May all your roads be dry, curvy, traffic free and scenic. George

Dennis was such a devoted grandfather and always made an effort to attend every game or function. He loved to give advice and ask the kids questions with such genuine interest. Dennis was kind and supportive to me, even when facing his own struggles with cancer. His cars were legendary and I was lucky enough to get to participate in a few of the rallies he organized. He will be missed and his absence keenly felt. Whenever I see a motorcycle on a windy and gorgeous back road, I will think...

So sorry for your loss of Denny. My sincere condolences go out to your family during this difficult time. (Hosea 13:14)
