I am a cousin of Denny’s and have so many great memories of Denny.  From his making me the best stick horse any little girl could ever hope to have complete with white silky mane (from the innards of a clothesline) to meeting me in Rochester airport on my short layover so I could see his new little baby girl, Tara, he was such an exceptional cousin. He always kept in touch even after we moved to Florida and he and Sherrie lived in Utah.  I even remember his driving me around to see sites of interest outside of Canton and Harmony after our Aunt Bernice’s funeral. Then his leading the way through the worst snowstorm ever from Harmony to the Cities got me safely there.   What would I have done being a Florida girl and not ever driving in conditions like that?  I remember how interested he was in people and was such a good listener.  Even when his hearing wasn’t the best he still wanted to hear everything people had to say. He was such a good student...getting advanced degrees until his perseverance paid off and he landed his much sought after job with the airlines.  He was my hero. I still think of him nearly daily when I use my Cutco scissor that he sold me.  I loved his patriotism and his love for our country with such unwavering convictions. I have missed him since he passed into heaven.  Looking forward to seeing him again in glory! ✝️

In past years, I so much loved my times spent with Denny and you,Sharon. From times with all four of your parents to visits in Westminster,you both were so loving and gracious. I know you have traveled many roads in your life together. Please know I care, and my deepest sympathies to you Sherry and your 3 children and extended families. Love, Marcia (Finke) Bass
