A kinder man would be hard to find. Denny was so sweet to our three young daughters when we first became associated with Heartland Greyhound. He and Linda both extended compassion and hospitality to our girls in a way that every parent hopes for. Denny will be sorely missed, but will also leave an imprint on all of our hearts that will continue to live on.

I will miss Denny. He was funny, godly, loving, kindhearted, generous, & an entertaining storyteller. I'll especially miss the way his eyes lit-up around Linda. He was a beautiful person with a kind soul, & I love him.
