Denny was a wonderful man and a pleasure to work with. Just below his gruff exterior was a soft hearted man with a heart of gold. He always had a story and a joke to share. He always had pride in his voice when he talked about Randy and Joy. He will be missed and never forgotten.

I have know Denny since 1984 when we worked at Lewiston Albertsons'. He was alway willing to talk and tell a joke. Then later we would see him at Costco. I will miss little smirk and smile he had.

I worked at Albertsons when Denny was in the meat dept. He always had fun jokes to tell me. Denny enjoyed talking with my husband about old western movies and they always had a good laugh to share. Denny was a sweet guy and I know that I will miss him.

I met Dennis years ago at Costco. When my boys were small Dennis would talk to us about the Green Bay Packers. My son is a huge Packer fan and Dennis took a liking to him, My son is 20 now and in college at CDA. I will tell him that the Green Bay Guy at Costco pasted away. What a kind and gentle man Dennis was, even to us as we were 50 miles from out of town. Dennis truly touch our lives and our hearts. We will miss him.
