So sorry to hear that, Tony. Denny was a true gentle man and a good friend to many of us. I still chuckle about the time too many of us helped him put up your storm door. I'll miss Denny too. af Sent from my iPhone On Dec 6, 2014, at 8:07 AM, 'Anthony Spezio' via VFB Mail

Tony, I’m really very sorry to learn about this. With the passing of Chris Helms last week and now Denny, we lost two class acts in our close circle of buddies. Since I’m in Idaho now, I had hoped to go up and fish with him this spring. Another reminder not to put off important things in life.

I never met Denny but we were in contact by e-mail and phone a few years ago when I purchased a couple of his JV hen capes. He was pleasant and easy to deal with. My condolences to Liz. Neville Gosling On Dec 6, 2014, at 5:07 AM, 'Anthony Spezio' via VFB Mail vfb-mail@googlegroups.com wrote:

So sorry to hear this, I remember Denny well, on my fist trip to the Sowbug he suggested that i move over from the hotel into the cabin where he and forgot his name staid. Jimi joined the gang as well, we talked the whole night about roosters, hackle, hens and eggs. His knowledge was amazing. Will
