Diane and family, So sorry for your loss. I knew Denny from the softball days but got to know him better playing bocci these past years. I knew when I saw his car there it was going to be fun. We had so much fun playing on an indoor court that wasn't level. I never heard him say a bad word about anyone ever. I will miss him.
So very sorry to hear about Denny. We went to school together. He was a great guy. RIP friend!
Tiger/Neiger….so sorry to hear of your passing, big guy. You were a pleasure to be around and your presence will be missed….RIP, Denny and may God bless and be with all your family….

I am sorry to hear of Denny's passing. He was a classmate of mine at Conneaut High School. Although I didn't know him very well, he was well liked by everyone in our class and always knew how to put people at ease and in a good mood. I feel fortunate that I had the opportunity to speak with him at our last class reunion. I was a little surprised that he remembered me, but he was very kind and considerate and greeted me with a warm smile as if we were the best of friends. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. The world has lost a wonderful human being and Heaven has gained an angel. May God comfort you in this difficult time.
