Denny, It seems like only yesterday we were kids living on the same street only a few houses apart. I think about the time we spent together and miss those days terribly. Till we see each other again. RIP my friend.

Chick and I will always remember how you were always so upbeat and tried to make everyone feel good about themselves. You were always interested in what people had to say and you were always trying to brighten their day. We will miss you..

Denny sure was a character. I remember picking him up when Bowies ziggy Star dust was popular a nd he was sparkling in the dark. We had a lot of laughs. Such a caring guy.

To the family, I give my heartfelt condolences to you on the loss of a good man. I was shocked and saddened to hear of his passing. I met Buck at the restaurant I work at. He was always happy and very kind and had a story to share. He will be missed. I pray that you will find peace as you go through this difficult time. God bless you. Gail Mann

Knew Dennis when we were in elementary school. He was a year behind but had a girlfriend one grade up. He became good friends with my brother-in-law, Chic, years later and that is when our friendship restarted. I was just thinking... My sister took me and a friend to a horror movie and Carol and I were too scared to watch it and when we went out to the lobby, Denny was already there. The three of us messed around till the movie was over. Denny was a great friend, always upbeat and he will be missed. I hope Rocky can adapt to a life without him.

This was very hard on Brian and I Den was such a fun and thoughtful man. Even if we are in TN he would always call and wish us a happy holiday no matter what holiday it was. He always called me Brian's southernbell and loved my accent. Although they had a disagreement last year and had not talked in awhile but being friends for over 45 years you never lose great that bond and will be greatly missed . Till we see you again RIP.

Dear Don & family,

I am at a loss for words. I am beyond heartbroken. I remember Denny always laughing, whether playing a prank or telling a joke. No matter how long it was between times of seeing each other, he always had time to chat when visiting our moms in South Allentown. He will be greatly missed.

Dear Bray Family,
Our deepest sympathies to the whole Bray Family. We loved Denny and are heartbroken that he was taken from all of us too soon. Denny never missed calling Al & I on all holidays and especially on the patriotic holidays honoring Al for his service in Viet Nam.
Denny will live in our hearts and lives forever.

To the Bray and Weider families,

My heart broke when I heard the news of Denny's passing. Growing up, he was like the brother I never had. In the past few days I have heard many wonderful remembrances of Denny from his friends. Rest In Peace my life-long friend.
