Once retired, he and Joanne spent their time traveling, spending quality time at their beach house in Ocean Park, WA. Denny spent his final years at Ida Culver Broadview Retirement Home.

Denny was a loving husband, father, uncle, grandfather, and son. He will be missed so much. We take comfort knowing he is with Mom now.
