Denny was my neighbor for over 5 years. He was always very kind to my children even though they would run across his yard and through his wonderful garden full of tomatoes and peppers. He was always willing to lend a hand when my stubborn 200 lb dog wouldn't move for me. He would come out and lead the dog right home for me! My children and myself are very saddened by the news of Denny's passing and will always remain in our hearts as a truely compassionate human being. He will be missed tremendously.
