Uncle Denny and Maryann have made a lasting impression on my life. Besides being best friends to my furry girls, you two helped me landscape my backyard. You would not let me compensate you for all the work you two did and I got the most beautiful paradise that I still talk about to this day. Denny designed the whole thing and I so enjoyed the time we spent together getting all the plants.

Another memory is when Denny told me about a man who asked him for money. Denny said he went to pull money out of his pocket and stopped and said, "Buddy, I pick up dog poop for a living. Go get a job." That was the best!

And the best for last, Denny never told me this, but he loved the Japanese pickled onion I kept in the fridge. I noticed the onions were disappearing regularly and living on my own, I couldn't figure out where they were going. So, I kept replacing the jar and they kept disappearing. I knew after awhile it was Denny. Miss him much. Thank you for such wonderful memories!

Denny, You were a big part of our lives for many years. I knew I could always count on you and Maryann to take great care of our fur babies. Ren and Molly adored you and looked forward to your daily visits. You were a very kind man and I will always be grateful for your tender care of the dogs.

When our dad died when I was only 14 years old, you stepped up and took the role of not only being my big brother, but also my dad. You helped me through the difficult adolescent years and early adulthood. Our father would be proud of you on how you took over and helped to finish raising his youngest son.

It's been a year since you left this life but you have left so much behind that can never be forgotten . I sit here with tears in my eyes and a smile on my face just thinking of how fortunate I am to have a friend such as you . Til we meet again my friend !! Til we meet again !!!

We have no pictures to post, but have great memories of Uncle Denny. Weazer and Josie loved their walks. Munchkin, Little Bear, and Sojourn loved to greet Denny when he visited our home. I don't drive by Rose Hills without mentally saying "hi" to Uncle Denny. RIP Good Man.

Denny is my big brother, who was never ashamed to have his little sisters tag along behind him, who was always there for us, who taught us the importance of family loyalty, and who loved us. He sacrificed for us in more ways than I could count. A big part of me is gone, now. I miss him so much. I love you, Denny.

We miss you very much. Daymienne & I often remember her "Papa" and we will talk about a fond memory.
She has made him something special and also has a small flag that she has set aside to bring up to place on his grave. She says "Papa will love this". He will forever be in our heart.

Denny was the best friend I ever had. I could go on all day just telling the experiencs we shared together ,and the same amount of time on things I can't tell you. Without him I would have never have met Sue and God only knows where my life would have ended up.Whenever you needed anything he was there.

Dennis was more than a brother-in-law to me. He was an example, role model, guide, and friend. He was my girl's surrogate Deem grandfather, my backup for talking some sense into his brother (Dennis was always a sensible and practical guy!), and a great example of being loving to your spouse. I will miss him and remember him fondly every single day.

When we were kids, Susan and I slept in one twin bed, and Denny slept in the other. Denny asked us to turn on the light. We found Denny's head stuck between the bars of the headboard of the bed. Sue got on one side, and I got on the other, and we started pulling and he started screaming "My EARS, my EARS!" after a lot of work, stuffing his ears between the bars, we freed him.

My protective Uncle

July 31, 2013

I remember when I was 14 going on 15, I went with Uncle Denny and Annie jo to Tahiti. There was this guy there named Mike who was 18 he was giving me alot more attention then Uncle Denny liked.......One night Mike came up to me and told me that Uncle Denny just asked him out of nowhere "Do you value your balls?, cause if you do, I suggest you stay away from my niece." Always the protective uncle.......

Denny and His Animals

October 1, 2012
Denny has always loved animals. He was the prime kid who told mom "he followed me home......." He had chickens, a parakeet aviary, dogs, cats, reptiles. He would rescue hurt or deserted animals, and nurse them back to life. We even had a baby goat that kept us up all night. He used to tell me he wanted to be a veterinarian. He would have been an excellent vet! But he had his "Critter Sitters", and I believe that helped fulfill his dream. Thank you,Maryann, for helping him achieve that dream.

How I met Dennis

October 1, 2012

Dennis was working in the liquor dept. of Dixie Farms, (A small family owned grocery store) I went in and bought a bottle of wine.  Dennis asked if I needed any help drinking it and I said "sure" and left the store. At 10:30 p.m. that night Dennis shows up at my from door with another bottle of wine. I was in my robe and my hair in rollers.  I ask how he found out where I lived.  His comment was "You wrote a check"
