Police Department. He was a member of the VFW, the South Jersey Vietnam
Vets, PBA Local #122 and the Tacoma Fire Company. He enjoyed
vacationing at his retirement home in Beach Comber in Cape May, where
he would drive the beat in his golf cart, catching up with new and old
friends at the campground. Denny and his son spent countless times
together on hunting excursions. You could always count on Denny if you
needed him: he would be there to help or chauffeur you around town in
any inclement weather. His grandchildren were his pride and joy,
spending time with them was pure delight for him. Denny was a loving
and generous man who loved his family and friends and will be sadly
missed.
