I didn't know Denny in high School, however we became friends for many years working in the Wheel Shop at Hollidaysburg Car Shop. After I left the railroad and Altoona in 1999, I would try to visit him and Marge when I would return to town. I was very sad when I heard he had passed. He will be missed by all.
