Denny was and still is in my heart and often thought about he was my mentor and friend his heart was a big as a house when it came to all critters. Over the years he saved me several times from purchasing something that was not correct. He will and is missed by his family friends and my self!

Although I had known him only through posts on forums, he seemed like a very good man and sharing type collector. Sorry to hear this sad news. Condolences to his family.

Very sad to hear of this news, Denny was one of the good guys associated with this hobby, I purchased my SSHR from him and will always appreciate his help.

Denny was an honorable man. I just learned of his passing. We are losing a lot of the old guard who started with me in this hobby.

It's always sad to see a barber collector pass away. There may be more of them out there than you might think.

It's also nice he cared about animals , not all of us are obsessed with hunting , but communing with nature, and enjoying to see wildlife without having to run over every raccoon or skunk or squirrel on the highway because they feel they are GOD and justify it out pof meaness.

I didn't know him, but good folks are harder to find in this world of creeps and crazies, so my hats off to you Denny , may other emulate your kind spirit.
heres something I think he would like a lot.
