To the Denby family, Olivia and Duane Young would like to send out our heart felt condolences of the passing of your son,father, and brother.Wayne was our neighbors for years on Zettler rd. I can remember the times when my husband and I would be out back grilling and here comes Wayne with his steaks or chicken to put on after we would get done for his dinner that evening. It sure did smell good. He will be missed may you guys find comfort in all the memories that he has left you with. I know my husband and will. It was a pleasure knowing your family member.
