Tributes
"Denny has been sick for awhile. But it was so nice to spend the last 6 months with him. So very glad he got to go with us to celebrate Kenton?s graduation. Was a nice time for all."
"Denny is one of my older brothers. I remember he and my sister always teasing with me but I knew he always loved me I remember him buying with his money a stuffed duck that I lost and have to this day 55 years ago.. he would always buy me things out of love . He went to the service I cried every night for at least 6 months missing him. He returned 3 years later and I was so happy. Thru the years we were close on and off .. but the last 6 months we reconnected and have been the best I my only regret is you couldn?t stay longer but god had other plans for you .. you will always be missed and loved by me . Fly high go join our grandparents and mother give them lots of hugs from us . Until we meet again we love you always. Rita Mary kenton "
