I have special memories of Denny and your family from the First Christian Church. You have a beautiful family. Denny had a wonderful sense of humor and was such a friendly supportive person. May the memories of his love and life help you in this time of grief. May God Bless your family. You have our sympathy.

I was privileged to know and work with Denny for ten years having shops across the street from one another. I am saddened to hear of his passing. Though I rejoice knowing his suffering is over and he is at peace with the Lord Jesus! To God be the Glory for a wonderful man and testimony!
