My thoughts and prayers go out to your family.  Denny was a wonderful man.  I met him when our office was located in the Griest building and used to have great conversations with him.  I was saddened to hear of his passing.  Find peace in knowing that he’s out of pain and that he will now always be with each of you watching over you.  Many blessings, Crystal Consylman

I have been thinking about you Ellie! You are in my prayers! Uncle Denny was a happy, fun loving guy. He taught me to do the twist at a family wedding. He said it was like putting a cigarette out on the ground. Every time I do the twist, I think of him.  You know my mom was waiting for him at heaven’s gates with open arms! I Love You! ❤️ Chrissy Stock
