Sorry to hear that a long lost friend has passed. I knew Denny for years, since first grade, I have many memories of our school years together. He was always a kind person, and funny guy. He will remain in my memories and other class mates for years. Sorry for your loss.

Linda: I was sorry to hear about the passing of "Muss". I will always remember him at the Blue Moon store. He was always very nice to me and I will remember him hanging out with my brother Dan Whitaker. My condolences to you and your entire family.
