Denny was an amazing guy! He would do anything for anyone. He would always make me smile and tell me a funny joke when he would come to buy his auto parts from me. He had a picture made of his bulldog just for me cause they searched all over town looking to find what store I had moved to. Thoughts and Prayers to the Erickson family Denny will be missed by many!
