Trevor, Taylor, and Debbie, There are no words to express how badly I feel about Denny’s passing. He was part of wonderful memories for me. The years of him singing Barbershop I hold dear in my heart. I remember when Trevor was very little. Len, Jim Gross, Denny and a baritone (I don’t remember who it was) were singing in you house. They stood in a circle and Trevor joined them in his little footed p.j.’s. He put his hands inside the top of his p.j. pants (like the big guys with their hands in their pockets). They were singing River of No Return and Trevor belted it out right along with them! Adorable! Dennis was so proud! You have my deepest sympathies. Linda (Johson) Wolford
