Missing you Denny. Every day.

Denny Mayer was my college sweetheart, my husband, and the father of our wonderful son, Aaron Mayer. Although life's circumstances did not keep Denny and I together, I know we always loved each other. Pam Mayer

Denny was a wonderful family friend for many years. He was always full of encouragement, humor, and compliments. He treated our daughter as his own, and spent countless hours teaching her to play tennis and to value her education. Thank you for all you invested in our family, Denny. You will be greatly missed !

Denny was a good father,son,brother,husband,cousin and friend. He had a good sense of humor. We had a wonderful time growing up in Allentown.

As a grade school boy with glasses and a noticeable birthmark he endured teasing and bullying;dad taught him to fight and defend himself. He came home 15 times with broken glasses, but dad was proud to know he beat up the other kids with...

What can I say about the Mayer family except they are the greatest! It was my privilege to have been born into the family and to have had Denny as my oldest first cousin. I will always have the fondest memories and some zany stories to carry in my heart. Denny, I love you as my cousin and brother in Christ and may your spirit live on in your remaining family until we meet again. Denny, I love ya and may the Lord bless you and keep you; may He make His face shine upon you and be gracious...
