My heart and my love go out to all of you. Even though we have not seen each other in some time, we spent many hours together growing up as cousins. I wish I could be there with you during this most difficult time. Rob, Jack and Mike, Denny's children and grandchildren, and Gloryne and Skip, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Denny was such a great guy, and I know that he will be sorely missed. My love to you all.

I am so sorry and sad to hear of this just today. Denny did so much for me as a child and truly was a huge part in helping me get where I am today in my career. Please tell Whitney that I have a safe place for her to come to and regroup if she wishes. I think she's a great girl and cant imagine what the loss of her grandfather really means to her. I can imagine she is scared to death. I would like to let her know that she is never alone and I would always help her in whatever way I can.
I am also sorry to Debbie Ruby and Doug Ruby. for the loss of thier father. HE was a GREAT guy and raised two bright kids in you two and was always very proud of you both!!!
