My deepest sympathies. Denny was such a kind man. I remember when I first came to work at Hunter Truck and Denny would come every Wednesday to do floorplan checks. He was always smiling and offering assistance. Denny
had such a great sense of humor. He was such a gentleman and was so caring to people. Denny was truly one of the nicest people I have ever met. May your loving memories bring you comfort and peace until you see him again.
Denny was a dear friend for many years who taught me so many things… how to drive and pump an engine were some exciting things I learned from him. But he taught me so much more than that. I miss our talks and his advice. I know his Suzie, Jill, Denny, and all his beautiful grandchildren will miss their “Happy.” He was very special. Thank you for sharing him with us for all those years. My heart is with you all. May his memory be a blessing to everyone who knew him.
I’m so very sorry to hear this news about Denny. While I had only few interactions, they were impactful seeing his spirit for life, his support of his kids, and love for his family. I hope you take comfort knowing his best lives on in you all whom he gave so much. Heartfelt sympathies and may he Rest In Peace.
Sue and family, my deepest sympathy to you all. Denny was a wonderful person and inspiration to others. May he rest in peace.
Sorry for your loss He was a great man.
Denny was a very kind, gregarious man that was always interested in other people. He always cared about other people and their lives. He will be missed.
