MEMORIES“Uncle Denny was my Godfather and he always remembered my birthday! In recent memory, he and Aunt Diane were here for me at the most important milestones in my life, when Brian and I got married & when I was pregnant with Alessa. He holds a very dear place in my heart & we will truly miss him. You know, his humor was always much appreciated at family gatherings”

GRANDMA JEAN

GRANDMA JEAN’S 10OTH

MEMORIES“I especially remember how tickled Jean was when Denny gave her a Marshall Field’s toy truck after they moved to Rancho Bernardo. He said he didn’t want her to be lonely without the truck pulling up to the house every other day with her purchases. He even quipped that they would probably go out of business without her (Of course, they eventually did).”
