I am very sorry to hear of the passing of Denny. I knew him in college and we had some really special times. Glad to see he found happiness in Colorado. He was a sweet soul. Agree with what another friend said, will think of him when looking at the stars. He always knew the constellations and other interesting nature facts. My sympathy to his family and friends.

Dear Cheryl,
I was so sorry to hear of Denny’s passing and I wanted to extend my condolences to you. You two were an enormous part of my life!! I also wanted you to know how sorry I was about how things ended in St Louis. I have always regarded Denny as one of the best friends I have ever known. Just before Denny left St Louis he told me of his dream and it appears that you and he lived it!! I am so thankful for that. I will continue to keep you in my prayers and if you could ever find it in your heart to share some stories about your life with Denny I would greatly appreciate it. 

Sincerely,
Mike Lowhorn

Denny and I first met in an ornithology class in Oxford OH while attending Miami U.  We actually became roommates during senior year.  His golden retriever, Beau (Bo?) was the sire to my golden Ace.  After graduation, Denny went up to Cleveland for podiatry while I moved to Colorado, in 1975.  Fast forward 40 years and we once again met up, he in Silverthorne and I in Steamboat Springs.  What a long strange trip it has been.  Best wishes to Cheryl.  Denny will surely be missed.

I lived & worked in Summit County from 2005 - 2013 & had the pleasure of working with Denny during his time with the Town.  Denny was always freindly, kind & interesting to talk to!  I loved it when he'd stop by my office space and talk. I'll remember his cool voice, his smile, his love of motorcycles and his love for his wife Cheryl.  I also had the pleasure of meeting Cheryl a few times and she was such a joyful presense.  Denny was well loved.  

Denny's obituary is a beautiful read and is a reminder of what is important in life "Denny was not a man who defined himself by what he did, instead he defined himself by the friends he made and the experiences he had in his journey of life."

Rest in peace Denny.  It was an honor to share a small peice of your  big life journey with you.

Sincerely, 

Ryan McGee

So sorry to here of Denny’s passing.  I will always remember all the fun times and great energy you two brought to our lives in Summit County.  As Joe Fava said every time we look at the stars Denny will be there. 

I was shocked to see this. Denny and Chery were the very first people I met when I moved to Summit County. I worked with both of them for years but spent significant time camping, hiking and shooting pool. Denny was always a joy to be with, he hardly ever got worked up or stressed. I have volumes of pictures from our relaxing trips to the Utah backcountry. I will think of him every time I look upon the stars. 

Cheryl, I am so sorry to hear of Denny's passing. He will be greatly missed in the Summit County community for his big smile and genuine love of life.  Though we lost touch with you over the past 20 years, we continued to stay loyal to Denny for all our ski and bootfitting needs at Jimbo's even after moving to Steamboat Springs a couple years ago, and looked forward to seeing him there each winter. Sending you love and peace as you figure out your new reality. You had a special relationship and can't know the words to express our sorrow at your loss. We are truely saddened to hear this news.  With Kindness & Love, Karen & Brian Wray

Dear Cheryl , I am so sorry to hear about Denny's passing. I have many fond memories of hanging out with the two of you back in the day. Sincerely,  Seth Zelen.

Denny and I were residency partners at Highlands Center hospital 1982 through 1984. I was so impressed with his surgical skills, his intellect, and his ability to play any sport with perfection. Everyone wanted to be is good as Dennis Parkinson. Though it saddened me when he left the profession so early, spending time with Denny left an indelible memory on all who knew him. You will be missed my partner. Paul

I am sorry to hear about Denny.
He was a mentor and a friend. Our paths crossed during the years between 1989-1995 as Dennis was an attending physician/surgeon in my foot and ankle surgery training program. He was highly skilled as a surgeon but always treated the residents, nurses, patients and colleagues with the highest esteem. 
He was fun, quick-witted and kind. When he was in your presence the world seemed a little lighter and you a little more important.
I loved that he wasn't defined by his career and courageous enough to change his path despite the number of years he had devoted to learning a craft. Taking his example, I also left podiatry and pursued other careers that ultimately lead to greater fulfillment.
I have nothing but the finest memories and respect for him.
Rest in peace, my friend.

Cheryl, we’re so sorry to hear about Denny.  He was such a great guy.  Our deepest sympathies to you during this difficult time.

Teresa and Roger Kliegerman

Denny was a great guy. Very charismatic and a super fast skier to boot. He taught me a ton about feet and how to make them comfortable in ski boots. Pretty sure Denny lived life to the fullest.
Thoughts and prayers to Cheryl. 
Peace Brother!
