I am sorry to hear of your loss. As I think of Denny, my first thought is of him laughing ... a great way to be remembered I think. I hope all of your loving and laughing memories of him will bring you comfort.

Peace and courage.

Our thoughts of all the good times at LOHS and the class of 58,  you and Denny falling in love, getting married and having three wonderful sons.  You will have wondefrful memories of all the years since then to keep you strong in the days ahead.  May Denny rest safe in the arms of Jesus now.  So sorry for you all.

Kaye and family,

My  prayers and thoughts have been with you since Denny's death. He will be missed by so many friends and family.

My thoughts are with the Hanson family...so sorry for your loss. He has left a wonderful legacy in each of the Hanson boys!

Kay and family, we are so sorry to hear of Denny's death. You and Denny were wonderful neighbors for many years. I will always remember Denny talking with me shortly after we moved into the house next door to you on Telemark Court, telling me not to bother buying a ladder or other equipment he had in the garage, as I could always borrow them from him.  There were many more gestures of kindness and support as neighbors and friends over the years.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of sadness and loss, and I hope you will find comfort in the many wonderful years of great times you enjoyed with this fine man.
