Many of those close to him have concluded, that this

artistic paint-brush,and "people" skills.


If Denny is well known for his strength of character, honesty,quick wit,humor,and love of life.
Even more,it is his deep compassion,and sense of care for others,that he is most noted for.

He has a remarkable way of meeting a person,at"where they

Denny's concept challenges us all.to realize that each of us has an opportunity to make a difference,and a better
life,not only within our ourselves,but,in our world.

He has been heard to say.That you do not have to do
something on the same scale as his concept,to make a
difference in your home,and community.
You only have to listen to your heart,and respond to it's leading, which is to,......
"Do the right thing,because,it is the right thing to do"

If you are one who has never heard of Denny,or has had the opportunity to meet him.
