I knew Denis back in 1975 when he was running the trencher for "Taylor Trenching" to install a water line for Rural Water Dist #3. I worked with the crew from November till March. I really liked Denis, he was a real card. It's been a long time ago & I wish to extend my deepest sympathies to his family. I would really appreciate it if someone that knew Denis, would send me a recent picture or something of Denis. My postal address is 303 132nd. Rd. Baileyville Ks. Thanks.

I knew Denis in the 70's. He was a big guy with a big heart who was always laughing and pulling pranks. One time I was riding my bike and he and Dennis Noonan drove up in a car beside me and Denis reached out and pinched me! He had the biggest smile on his face and he roared with laughter. I'll always remember him like that. Young, smiling and having fun.



You've lost a good man. I'm so sorry.
