To Joyce, Kathy, Karen, Brett, Matt and family.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Denny will be missed in so many ways. The memories I have of him will stay with me forever. God Bless You All.

Pekula Family - I remember "Denny" when he was a motorcycle officer at OPD with my dad years ago. I remember him coming over for coffee when they were lucky enough to be near home. He was also the school resource officer at Burke when my daughter went there, she got to know and like him too. We saw last saw him about 2 years ago when he came to my dad's 75th birthday party. We're so sorry for your loss.

I knew Dennis during his time as a security person at Burke. I could always count on him being upbeat and good with the students. He'd often show up at a door with his little notepad and ask a student when he'd be able to repay the lunch-money Dennis had loaned him. He loaned out so much money, he had to keep track in the notepad! Dennis said the students were always good about paying him back.
I also remember him volunteering to trim all the trees on the Burke campus. He was...

During Denny's many years of service in the 403rd Military Police, he distinguished himself among his fellow Noncommissioned Officers and Officers with his professional, enthusiastic manner and continuing high-quality performance. He was a valued member of the team, and you can be justly proud of his contributions. All who soldiered with Denny remember him with respect and admiration and he will be missed by all.
