I was shocked and saddened to learn of Denny's untimely death.
Fifty years ago Denny and I were classmates at Millersville University when it was Millersville State College. We became friends and re-established our relationship sometime around 1974, when I returned home after being discharged from the Marine Corps.
At that time I was looking for advice for my investments and I contacted Denny after I learned that he had become a financial advisor. I have used him ever since as my advisor and have always found Denny to be scrupulously honest and reliable. He was active in his church, served on the Financial Committee for the Alumni Association at Millersville, and supported the preservation of the Colebrookdale Railroad. Denny was generous with his time and money in supporting worthwhile causes.
I will miss him as a friend and advisor. The world is a lesser place without Denny in it.

Denny was always a great person to be around. (Though when I was younger I used to hide from him and yell scary man.) He was someone that my parents adored and respected. I will miss his big personality and smile that he brought with him to a room. My thoughts and prayers to all!
