Gary, Dale and family, I am very sorry to hear of Denny's passing. I was one of many girls who were quite fond of Denny in high school. I'm sure he will be greatly missed by his family.
RIP, Satch
My wife and I would like to offer our sincere condolences to Melanie and the rest of the family. Denny was a great guy from the first time we met way back in 1956. Never did I ever hear anyone say a unkind word about Denny. He was liked by all. I really admire the courage that Denny exhibited in the face of his health troubles. He managed to maintain his warm and sunny personality. God Bless you Denny and may you rest in peace.
My deepest sympathies for your loss.
Mel, Our prayer is that God will give you the strength and peace that you need to get through this time. You are special and we love you as much as we loved Dennis.
Melanie I don't know how to say the sadness and loss you are experiencing. The grief may diminish but the loss of your friend,true love and life partner will fade more slowly. Trust in god and know that I will be there for you. Call me if need someone that has been though this.
Mel,
