Pat and Family--belated condolences, as I just heard this terribly sad news. I knew Denny as an outstanding professional who enjoyed counseling clients, but there was never any doubt that his true joy came from his family. I am so sorry for your loss. Charlie Denton

As a long time customer of Lettinga and Associates, I'd see Denny a couple of times each year..but just in passing. However, he was always the first to say "hello" and greet you with the same warm smile you see in the picture of him in this online guest book. I feel lucky to have known him. My sincere condolences to his family.

I had known Denny for years through business and had always looked forward to meeting with him. Sad. Just plain sad. Sad for me and for his family and friends and business associates.

We just received a call informing us that Mr. Denny passed away. We are all heart-broken! Denny was always happy, upbeat, and encouraging. He found ways to bless my sons through his generous spirit: he allowed Bradley to mow his lawn, offered the boys White Caps tickets, and let them swim in his pool. Denny was looking forward to camping in his sweet new travel trailer and truck. We admired both while they sat in the driveway! Morning Dew Ct. will never be the same without Denny Gillett!! We feel so blessed to have known him and have him as our neighbor. Our thoughts, love, and prayers are with Pat and the entire family.

Pat...can't tell you how sorry Margie and I are about Denny's passing. He went so very fast!! I'm sure he suffered much the last couple of weeks, but thankfully he didn't have to endure it long, if that's any comfort. We will be in prayer for you and the kids in the coming days. You have got to be right at the top of the good things that happened in Den's life. Let the Lord be with you Pat. Ken and Margie
