Del & I, along with our children will miss "Uncle Dennie" for a long, long time. He was a tough act to follow. He had a great sense of humor and was extremely generous. What fun to stop every year for a few days on our way to Florida & returning 3 months later on our way home. We loved that man so much & will miss him terribly.
