Buckmaster Family,

Denny was the most amazing person. He touched our lives and made a huge impact on the children. "Uncle Denny" as they referred to him, was always there for a hug and would even take time from his busy day to go into the Y nursery to hold our youngest two. (They would only calm down for him.) He was always there with candy and hugs for the older ones too. We will miss his smile and genuine kindness. Denny is one in a million. We were so lucky to have been blessed by him, and heaven is rejoicing in his presence.

With Love Heath and Beth Bearman

Connie, Ashley, and family,

Denny was the kindest man I have ever met. I worked with him at the YMCA for 2 years and continued my friendship with him even after I quit. He helped me through a difficult time when my mother-in-law was dying from cancer. He was truly God's servant. He never met anyone who wasn't a friend. He made an impact on anyone he came across. Denny was an amazing person and will be missed. The YMCA won't be the same without him neither will the world. I know I will see him in heaven.

My family and I did not know Dennis personally, but everytime we saw him at the YMCA we could count on his friendliness and a smile. Always working hard and if ever you had a question he would be glad to answer it, or find out the answer. He made you feel good about being there everytime he greeted you.

His kindness and smile will be missed, but not forgotten.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you,
God Bless The Griffin Family

I am so sorry about Denny. He will surely be missed by everyone, especially our little ones. I will miss his hugs. When he hugged you, you knew how he felt about you. What a blessing he was to our family. He was the only one Kailey would sit with in the nursery. He enjoyed very much when it was Ashlie and I's sunday to sing together. I too enjoyed those very much!! My heart and prayers go out to all of you!!

Heaven is a better place today. Our Northpoint family, however, will never be the same without Denny and for that, I am saddened. His ministry in the nursery alone brought joy and peace to my heart. His ability to sooth a young child was a true gift from God. I'll miss you Denny. Rest in peace knowing that your wife and daughters are cared for and prayed for by your Northpoint family.
