I’m so Sorry to hear of Denny’s passing. I’m shocked. He was a terrific person and I always thought a lot of him. We used to work together at Cat and we were on the same bowling team (fun)! You have me deepest condolences and sympathy. Sandy K

Dearest Cowboy , thought you are no longer with us your spirt will always live on in each and every one of us.
when I look up into the heavens and see the sunrise I will always think of you. I will forever remember our talks we had on your deck everyday you always said how much you loved your deck and watching the sunrise and your brothers and sisters the land was home to you and will always be as your family we will always and forever think of you when we look out into the field and watch the sunrise. I will miss your little ways of antagonizing Phojo and his need to get a new trailer, Pigsty and his tv. I will to continue on your legacy of busting on them that I promise.
I know you will forever carry on my brother, my friend in the hearts of those you have touched. May you ride with the angles this is not a good bye because I know someday we will meet again until then may you rest in peace.
Love, Respect and Brotherhood
