It was my priviledge to work at Mt. Scott Funeral Home from 1973 through 1977 first as an apprentice and then as a weekend attendant while attending mortuary college. Denny was a man of integrity and honor. Both he and his Father, Ed White taught me things that I have carried with me both in my personal and professional life.

I was a part-time weekender and then an apprenctice (under Steve Sorensen) from 77-80. I greatly appreciate the start Denny gave me as I continue in my 27th year in funeral service. He twice took me crabbing/fishing to the coast and those were some of my best memories of Denny. Our profession is better off with real people like Denny. It was an honor to consider him a friend.
