Denny was just such a wonderful person and human being. It's true, he was ALWAYS there if you needed anything, he always stood ready to help! He was a tough former marine, but he was filled with compassion too! Just a wonderful devoted person who would gladly give you the shirt off his back! Thank you for adopting me into your family! The memories will not leave me! Rest in eternal peace
Denny was a great guy, husband, father, grandfather, son and brother in-law. Every time we talked, he had passion for his family, his faith, and of course the CUBS! Rest in peace and I believe we will meet up again. Love, Keith and Daisy

Denny was a great guy who was always happy and cheerful when greeting him. He will be missed by many.
Denny was not my son-in-law, he was my son, and I loved him.
Dennis and my sister Linda created a wonderful life together. I am sad for her loss. Denny was charming, witty and all around a great person. I believe his spirit lives on in his beautiful daughters Veronica and Katie. My heart aches for his family. Sorry I can’t be with you in person as you are in my thoughts and prayers. Love you always
