To Michael, David and Debbie: I was saddened to hear of Denny's passing. My children, Colleen and Michael Reilly, and I spent four years fishing, camping and generally having a lot of fun with Denny and you. He was a wonderful father and one of the funniest men I had known. My condolences to you. Sincerely, Linda J. Miller
