Sweet Uncle Denny. He is a "branch" connected to The Vine, still bearing much fruit of the Spirit.
We love you Clarks.

Dear Kathy & Family,

My deepest sympathies for the loss of Denny. Sorry that I learned so late.

My memories of him go back to earliest childhood. He was a good classmate - friendly, warm and generous.

Although we met seldom in later years, Denny would welcome me in conversation as though we never missed a beat.

He is one of those individuals I have always remembered with affection.

Kathy,(Susan, Linda & Doug) I too had the greatest privilege to work for Denny. I think of him often. I am so sad to hear of his death. I do remember his great love for Jesus and his family. I know I am not family but you treated me like I was. I worked for him for 13 years and loved every minute of it.

May God bless you all.

Dear Kathy and Family:

Praying God's peace and comfort will surround you and your family. We were blessed to have had the pleasure of sharing a bleacher with you at many a Grace football game. You were both so loyal and supportive of your family even though they were spread out all over the place. It was an honor to have met and gotten acquainted with Denny.

With love,

June 5, 2015

What a blessing to Akron and beyond his life has been. Wishing all of God's comfort amid your tears.

Dear Kathy and family, We are very sorry for your loss. Denny and I go way back, going through the Stow schools together. My brother Drexal playing football with him. Remembering all the fun trips we took with our Sunday school class at the Chapel in Akron, and Green with you and Denny. He had a quick sense of humor, and he always reached out to others with kindness. We will miss him leading the class with announcements and prayers every Sunday. May God keep all of you in His perfect peace. Rita Gentzler and family

Losing a love one is always painful, to the family , may you be comforted during this difficult time, with Gods word at (Psamls 147:3, it reads "he heals the brokenhearted; and binds up their wounds."

Sincerest condolences to Kathy and the entire Clark family on their loss of Denny. Both my wife Joan(Idle)Hurd and I were schoolmates and friends with Denny in Stow and graduated with him from Stow High in 1958. He was always a joy to be around. I especially remember spending many happy summer days playing baseball with Denny at Stow Airport and playing football with him at Stow High. In recent years, it was particularly enjoyable reliving those fun times with Denny and Kathy at class reunions and class dinners at Red Lobster. Denny was truly a special person and will be missed by all who knew him.
Again our deepest sympathies

Dear Kathy and family, Bobby and I are saddened by the loss of someone you loved so much. Our prayers will be for God to reach out and give you strength and peace during this time of sorrow. Denny and I shared 60+ years together as close friends. I really enjoyed all the years we played and worked together growing up in Stow. Perhaps the most memorable time we shared was when he took me to Florida for vacation with him and his family. Denny's good nature, kindness and good humor were all an inspiration to me as I grew up. Thank you for sharing him with us as an adult. Denny was my best friend and I thank God for him and you.
