My fondest memories of Uncle Denny are the legendary backyard cookouts where he and Aunt Gloria fed anyone in the vicinity at the time and we all laughed for hours. The man who was always busy is at rest. XO

Denny was an inspiration and influence to me. I decided to become a police officer in part because of Denny. I will always remember Jerry and I visiting Denny and Gloria many years ago when they lived in a small apartment. Very early in the morning as we were sleeping in the living room, Denny would start banging a large spoon on a metal pot shaking us out of our sleep. He had a gruff demeanor but was just a big gentle giant . May he rest in peace.
