Know that you have many precious memories of growing up with your dad. Love to you
My sisters and I had a most memorable visit with Denny and his two cousins, Charles and Jerry, three years ago. Denny was always a joy to be around and had the best stories to tell. Sallie, Nancy, and I treasure that visit. It was so fun to hear their stories ( and shenanigans ) of growing up at The Diekroeger Farm. Our sincere condolences to all who will miss him so.
Very sweet man! I will deeply miss him and his sweet smiles! It was a pleasure being around Denny! I'm sorry for your lose. My prayers and thoughts are with the family in this difficult time!
