Steve and I are shocked and saddened to find Denny’s passing. Just today on our 48th anniversary we spoke of Denny who was a groomsman in our wedding. We were so proud of Denny as a friend and spoke of him to our son often. I’m sure he was an influence in our son graduating from USAFA himself. What a strong, handsome, kind man Denny was! I will never forget his energetic smile.

Denny was truly one of the really good guys. We had so much fun at Hanscom, playing sports and at AFA AOG events. A gentleman and a scholar. He will be missed by all.

Denny, you were a bright light around the Hanscom AFB area. Always upbeat, always positive, always supportive. I wish we could have gotten together more than we did. Now that I'm living in Texas, I'll carry your memory here forever. Rest in peace and free of pain.

Denny and I were roommates at the Air Force Academy. After graduation we traveled Europe together for 30 days on U-rail passes. We had a great time! He was a solid, great guy, enthusiastic and always fun to be with. I will miss him.

My Dear Big Brother
You made our family so proud. I thought we would have so many tomorrows to sit and relax by the lake. You've left a hole in my heart that will only heal by family memories. You are finally without worries or pain. Rest In Peace until we are together again Big Brother. Save me a spot!!
I will always be your sister and no one can take that away
You are loved and will be missed so much
Cindy

I knew Denny from days at Hanscom AFB and especially his support of the USAF Academy's New England Association of Graduates (NEAOG). Denny was the kindest, most helpful soul. For many years he volunteered to set up our NEAOG events, never looking for credit, but always looking to make it a great evening for people who attended. I looked forward to speaking with Denny at these events; he always had a smile on his face and was truly interested in how I was doing. I am glad to have known him and will miss him. I send much love to his family and friends and all who knew him.

As USAF members die, we toast them one last time with the third verse of the AF song. Here's to you, Denny--fly high my friend:

"Here's a toast to the host
Of those who love the vastness of the sky,
To a friend we send a message of the brave who serve on high.
We drink to those who gave their all of old
Then down we roar to score the rainbow's pot of gold.
A toast to the host of those we boast, the U.S. Air Force!"

Denny was a great American and long time contributor to the New England Air Force Academy Alumni chapter and the Academy Parents clubs. He will be missed.
