Always quick with a joke, looking for a good laugh. You always had wit, right until the end. I know that's what many found endearing about you. We may not have been very close in the past several years, but I knew you were there if I needed you. I was very happy to be able to be there for you in the end. I look forward to meeting you again in a perfect world where we can have a perfect relationship. 

Ecclesiastes 9:5
For the living know that they will die,
but the dead know nothing at all,

Psalms 37:10,11,29
10
Just a little while longer, and the wicked will be no more;
You will look at where they were,
And they will not be there.
11
But the meek will possess the earth,
And they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.
29
The righteous will possess the earth,
And they will live forever on it.

Isaiah 33:24
And no resident will say: “I am sick.”
The people dwelling in the land will be pardoned for their error.

We will meet again! I love you, Dad


Denny was a great pleasure for me to know for the last year .  Loved making him cookies and spending time with him and Brian.  He was a pretty funny guy with some of his jokes.  Not to mention taught me a few cooking tips.  House definitely has an absence.  Thank you Brian for being in my life and sharing your dad with me.  Love you both. 

I have known Denny for about 30 years. Denny always acted with integrity and sincerity. Integetry is the only currency in which you can give in life. Denny you will be missed.  All the best in your next steps with Lynn. It has been an honor. 
William Sanders

Will always remember how you made me feel welcomed and loved. You were my surrogate father, as my dad was in Washington state. I loved visiting you and Lyn.  I am glad I kept in touch with you even when I moved back to Washington state. Now you are with your love in Heaven.  You’ll always be in my heart.

Until we meet again we will miss you! R.I.P. Denny , Lyn, and Charlie Brown.🌹Paul & Jodie . Family

Denny was a very special person with a big heart. So glad he and Lyn were a big part of my life. He had a beautiful smile and an infectious laugh. God has gained a beautiful soul. I will miss him.

You are the best Grandpa in the world! I Love You & I will miss you soooo much! I'm grateful for the time we spent together for all these years & thankful I got to tell you that I loved you & hear it back from you.

Denny was the best father figure I have known. He would help any one who asked for help and who would take children under is wing as if they were his own child! He was loved by everyone he touched and they all would never forget his ways!
He always has a smile for everyone and shared anything and everything if he has these items to share!
He was my best friend and father I am going to miss him terribly!!!
I hope all whom read this will know what I am talking about
Your eldest son David!

One amazing man that raised many children. I'm going to miss you pops....I will never forget that smile...Love you Dad!
