I graduated a year ahead of Denny, where we had a class together. Years later, I was his mailman, in the valley, also his brother in law's mailman, Steve Gannon. Everytime we would run into each other, he would point atme and say, thats my mailman, he reads my Sports Magazine, and I would yell back, no, I read your playboys!!!! One time, at the Corner Club, about 7 of us Roger's guys met up with 5 or 6 Gonzaga guys, and when Denny introduced us, he would make me last, and point at me and say,,,,,Thats my mailman, and he reads my sports illustraed , of course, I would always r eply, nooooo, I read your Playboys!!!! Miss you buddy, and that smile, and our comments to each other, RIP

Denny was the very best.
Blow your nose and swallow your beer, because in about 2 seconds you were going to be laughing your a-- off.
One guy that I will truly miss.
I still think he invented the "Sprinkler".

the C-Man was a one of a kind, no one else could be him...He would light up any room he entered and the world was a brighter place with him in it.

What a guy! I coached Chris for several years and had lots of laughs with Denny. What I remember most is that if Jeff Jordan or I needed anything for the boys, Denny was there to help.
