I lost a dear old friend in Denny! We took the vacation of our dreams in 1974 when Denny, his wife at the time JoAnn Hustad, my wife Holly and I took an extended trip to Colorado! We had so much fun that I will never forget! I loved the guy like a brother all of these years and I will miss him dearly! Rest in peace my friend!
