Merrie Lynn, please accept our deepest sympathy for losing Denny. He was such a fun-loving guy. So many good times we shared with you two. Was so glad I got to see you two at Christopher and Lauren's shower. Please know we hold you in our hearts.

What a sad day for all. He was such a nice, caring, funny guy. They were both very good neighbors when I lived in the same neighborhood. Had a bunch of laughs with him. We called him “Spindleballs “. My prayers to Merrie Lynn and his family
