I'm not sure where to begin. As alot of you we met Denny and Linda as regular customers at their wonderful restaurant. We went there for the first time about 6 years ago and kept going back at least once a month. It never felt like dining at a restaurant Denny made us feel like we were eating with family. What a deep void his passing has left in all our hearts. He will be forever missed. We will still continue to go to the saloon but it won't be the same without his smiling face and joking around.Hugs and prayers to you Linda and his family during this most difficult time. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.Love to you from your Badger Lake friends.

Deepest condolences to Denny's family. He has been a very special lifelong friend to our family since Salk Jr. High days, especially to my brothers Scott and Kenn Grimm. His friendship, laughter, and especially his kindness will never be forgotten and always appreciated. Being like another 'son' to our mom, and brother to the rest of us, his help and compassion when Scott passed holds deep within all of us. He is a true friend and remarkable human being. Dennis will be greatly missed by all who knew him. RIP my dear friend.

Since last Saturday there is not a day that we have not thought about the two of you. We were shocked to learn of his passing. He was such a cheerful man, his big smile, his laughter, and his stories he would tell. My sister and I will never forget his late night cup of coffee story. He will be greatly missed and we are here for you anytime Linda. Loves and hugs. The Kirkland's

Linda & Joyce, I am so sorry for the loss of a soul mate and a brother. Denny will be missed by many people as he has touched many hearts. I will always remember him as one who had a wonderful deep laugh, and could always tell a wonderful story and make others happy

I will always have memories of our dinners at Spangle. "Six at six" Denny always knew exactly what we wanted and loved to tease us about our selections and give us a chance to fight over the last piece of pie. Denny was a friend for decades. He gave me a hug every time I saw him and especially after I lost Dick. He could always make me laugh. I will miss him terribly.
