We remember Denny coming to teach the fifth grade Sunday School class faithfully each Sunday. He and Laurie devoted themselves to the bus ministry. He was a friendly guy. You are in our prayers.

You have my deepest sympathy. It was always a wonderful time for me when I was up to see your Dad and visit with him. I remember along time ago my Dad, bought from your Dad, from A & E eggnog apnd he made ice cream. When I was in grade school we used to take field trips and always went to A & E your Dad was mixing cottage cheese in what looked like a large bathtub.
He was a wonderful man as I am sure you know. The best of all we can go see him again.
Love and Prayers,
Jeanette Cashatt

I worked with Denny for many years at Anderson Erickson Dairy. He was a good friend. I am sure he has found peace and happiness in heaven. I hope there is a Ford Tractor there for him to use. I will not be able to be at the services but my sincerest condolences to his family.
