Never forget the old Z car. Denny and I worked the shipping department at Federal Mogul 1975/76. Third shift. Some wild times. Rest in peace, friend. Randy Billups

I don’t know where to even begin. I met Denny and then Patti thru Judy and working at Puff and Stuff. 30 something years ago. So many good memories. Many, many years ago, Denny gave me this round thing, about the size of a quarter, with little ball bearing on it. He said he made it at work. I placed it on my key ring as a reminder of him. That was at least 25 years ago. To this day it’s still on my key ring. A forever reminder of him.
I guess as we age, we’ll always something to remember each other by, thru the good and the bad, the happy and sad. No one can ever take our memories away. And with you dear Denny, i have a million memories.
Rest in peace Denny…………….

Denny was a customer of ours for the past three or four years, great guy. He would stop in sometimes just to say hi to our dog Brindy. He will be missed. Our condolences to his family.
