I can still recall when Denny joined the Ansonia class of 1984. I believe it was when we were in middle school. He was handsome with a great smile. When I got braces in 8th grade, he smiled and said, "You still look pretty." Of course this was so uplifting for a girl with typical teen insecurities and new braces. That was Denny...always positive and smiling. Denny played football for my brother, Coach Hoening. I noted that Denny was in St. Louis for awhile. I live here and would have loved to see him again. My sincere condolences.

Denny was such a great friend and classmate. Anytime Danny was it worth a group of friends it was always a good time he enjoyed cracking up and just having a ball and living life to the fullest! My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. We can never understand why the good Lord calls a loved ones to heaven from us it’s such a younger age. Cherish all the great memories you have of Danny as all of us classmates will. We were all blessed to grow up with him and to know him as a young man.
