Not sure what to say?

Denson's wonderful soul warmed my heart when I needed a hand and I was blessed to have him as a friend. I will see you in heaven.

Denson was a fine man who led by example. I'll never forget his kindness and support when I battled breast cancer in 1990. I know your family will always think of him with laughter and miss him forever. Gods blessings.

We have the most treasured memories of Denson while visiting St Luke's where he gave so much support to our daughter Sara and Andrew there and baptised our granddaughter Gwenna. Also when he visited us in Wales and preached at Llandaff Cathedral and visited the Cathedral at Brecon, both very ancient sites of Christian worship.

Our deepest sympathy to all the family

Denson will be sorely missed by so many. My condolences to Carolyn and his family and friends. Rest in peace, Denson.

Rev. Franklin was minister at our church St. Mark UMC in Northport in the early 70's. My family has always thought so much of him. Sorry to hear of his passing. He was a great man. Rodger Anders and the Anders Family

May his soul rest in peace and rise in glory

We were so sad to hear about Denson. He was a fine Christian gentleman who will be missed by all.

So sorry to hear of Denson's passing. He was an amazing person who made a positive, loving impact on everyone he met. I had the pleasure of working with him for many years, and he inspired all those around him. Thoughts and prayers to his family at this difficult time. Denson will continue as our guardian Angel watching over us all❤

Lee & Dee -- I'm so blessed to have had "Uncle" Denson and your family in my life. He was a wonderful man -- kind and caring. His visits to Dad while he was at UAB meant so much to us all. His story about saying "gracey, mercy and peacey" as a benediction still makes me laugh. Know that your family is in my prayers.
