    Denny and I worked at the same place for many years, I am reminded of any old article that equated modern employment to the ole Cattle drives of the 1800's and they said if you found a good one you stuck with them. We found a good one at IAE, Good Trail Boss, Good Grub Wagon, and Good Working Conditions kina like Family The other thing we had in common is we are both Chicago Sox Fans I wish to add this story of lore in remembrance of Denny
          "You can here the Sound of one Hand Clapping at the Ballpark sometimes when the Sun dwelt at old Comiskey Park, you could look thru the open arch's and see the trees trembling in the Breeze, and as the Players trotted out to the Field between innings, the park became oddly quite. The only thing you heard was that vague, restless noise made when Fans aren't focused on anything - the nothing sounds of a Slow Game. Like an Indian Burial Grounds, Baseball Parks are Sacred turf. In the Small Children who sit in the stands with their mitts on, who dream casually of a life in baseball as if it were as easy as buying a Comic Book, in those children, an old Man can see the buried child of his Past"

Dear Pat and Family, 
Our condolences to the whole family during this difficult time. So sorry to hear about your loss. We have fond memories of Denny and will be thinking of all in our thoughts and prayers. Hugs to all!

To the Driscoll family I am truly sorry for your loss he sounds like he was a great man. My heart goes out to you all I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and  prayers.

As a little brother to a group who was linked at the hip. You guys were the example of friendship during, and afterword. I really envied you all. Of all the people Lord placed on this earth, I thought Denny was invincible since childhood. He and Patty were so nice to me and my younger sister. He was a great man. Someone you could reach out to no matter the problem. Denny between you and Larry. I will never play pimp guts with you guys.EVER. May the Lord bless your card game and the mischief you guys caused. Thank you both for being part of my life/and afterward. NO CARDS FOR ME

Dear Pat and Family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of sorrow. Shed a tear, but remember all the wonderful times with your husband, father, and grandfather.

To the Driscoll family 
So very sorry for your loss your father will be deeply missed

Dear Pat, Lisa Denny and Chris,
The kids and I are sadden by the loss of Uncle Denny.
Denny was so full of life and happiness he was always there for everyone when needed. He knew how to break the silence with one of his hilarious stories that would have you laughing until tears wilted up on your eyes. 
Denny had a caring heart and a charismatic personality that drew people close to him.
Emma, Dillon, Sean, Shannon and I (Theresa) are so very grateful for our recent trip to Florida.  The enthusiasm that Denny had for are arrival was priceless. I still have his voicemail message on my phone with his excitement for our upcoming visit. As always we were greeted with Denny's amazing smile and laugh. Each one of the kids had individual moments with uncle Denny that will stay with their hearts and memories for ever.  
Dillon and Denny created this amazing bond through stories that only the two of them would understand and laugh at. 
Uncle Denny had a profound impact on my four children that not too many uncles have. They looked up to uncle Denny with great regard and will cherish him forever in their hearts.  
The Man trips they experienced with him, again with many stories to tell, along with all the visits to their summer home in Wisconsin. Which I am sorry to say that I missed out on. 
From my first introduction to Denny and Pat I was so impressed by the love and bond that they had for each other and of their family. Bonds like this are rare to many. You truly were one amazing couple!!! 
Denny you have impacted so many of our lives and will be greatly missed!
Lots of Love,
Theresa, Emma, Dillon, Sean and Shannon and little Brother Mike

I'm so sorry for your loss.  My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

I know this is all about Denny, but my world has become darker, smaller and oh so much quieter. I will miss his smile, his eyes , his "cha" laugh, his photo ops,, him.  Myself and my family are so sad and will forever miss him..  Rita H

Driscoll family, loosing someone we love hurts. Please take comfort in Psalms 29:11, knowing that in difficult times like this, God gives peace and strength. 

DM, Alsip

Denny,  Your were one of the most courageous people i ever met. We shared experiences in Football in both grade school at St. john fisher and at Br. rice. These are fond memories for me, The championship team at SJF. It seems to me like it happened yesterday. I will reflect on all that . Your Dad and uncle were very influential in my life in Football  You will be missed but I have my memories  Thank You

Uncle Denny was one of the kindest souls to anyone who knew him.  His great smile was contagious, and no matter what he always could make the air in the room a lull of happiness.  We will miss you more than you'll ever know.  I know that Brian, Grandma and Grandpa are there to welcome you with open arms!  Till we meet again...

Love Cara June (Driscoll) Trahey

May your grief be replaced with many happy memories of your loved one. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. 

I know Mr. Driscoll was a great man because Dennis Jr. is a fantastic person. I am so glad he joined our team at the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria.

God bless,
