I am sorry to hear you have lost Denny. I have so many memories of the good times and events that our families shared at our homes and the county club. My parents always enjoyed the many golf games with Denny. May God hold you close,comfort you gently and carry you through this difficult time.

I am sure when Denny arrived at the Golden Gates he was met by the Lord who said Denny I have been waiting for you. I need some help with my golf game.
