Auntie Pat, Sue, Rob and the entire extended family,
I have such fond memories of Uncle Denny. He was always so kind and ready for a good time after a hard day’s work. I will always remember tearing around the vineyard in the monster truck with him.
I am so sorry for your loss. xoxo
Uncle Denny was such a fun, kind, and loving person. We have so many memories of wonderful visits to the vineyard. He fought so hard and so gracefully, and Auntie Pat, you were so strong and brave, by his side the whole time. We are saddened, but will keep a smile on, remembering how it was always easy to laugh and be happy around the two of you.
Lots of love, Robyn, Bernie, Alex & Matthew.
Dear Sue,
I remember well your dad’s big laugh and love for the land and the work he did. I am so sorry for your loss. Please give your Mom a hug for me.

I am very sorry to hear about Uncle Denny, he was like a second father to me. My fondest memories growing up are when the whole clan got together a few times a year as well as visiting all of you and going through the vineyards. He will be missed but never forgotten.
