Denny and I were close friends since 1993. Even after I moved to St Louis for 14 years, we still kept in close contact. I loved his love of music and the arts and his sense of humor. He was fun-loving and a very dear friend. His passing has left an empty space in my heart. Rest in peace, Denny. You are sorely missed!
Love,
Jan
Denny was the choir director/organist at my mother's church. One Christmas, when I came to visit my parents, my mother convinced him to let me sing at the church on Christmas Eve. Since that day, and especially since I moved to Florida permanently, Denny has been my mentor -- iaking me on many new musical adventures. My heart is hurting but I'm singing a song for you Denny.

The news of Denny's passing was a shock. We didn't get to spend a lot of time with Denny but we were blessed to be included in family gatherings. Denny and his brothers shared great stories about growing up and Denny certainly could tell a story keeping the spirits high. A life full of memories, we will miss him, keeping those fond memories of times together. Our hearts go out to is family and close friends. We are so sorry for your loss. Love and hugs to the family, Diane and Bob Reff
