We loved "Big D" very much and confidented him to the highest. We also love his children with all our heart. Definitely a reflection of Denver of the way his children turned out to become fine young adults. Joe and Bridget has been with our families through thick and thin. Will miss Denver's wonderful smile and great sense of humor. Heavens gained a wonderful soul. Will always love the family.

I greatly miss my "Tuesday's with Denver". He's been my friend since we came to Indiana in 1975. I took my guitar one day and went in to sing a song to him. I began to cry and feel the spirit as I sang and you could see that move on Denver and he sat right up and said "let that move on you Johnny". I will always have those memories of him and his Gretsch Guitar and I'll Wear a White Robe. If we live good and serve God acceptably we can go see Denver again. God Bless the Family. ~little johnny~
