    It was with a heavy heart that I learned of Denny's passing. Sorry to say that I had just heard that he was in the nursing home. As the years past we had lost touch with each other, but the memories of the time we spent together will always be with me. The teasing, sarcasm and just plain goofing around are etched in my memory along with that playful laugh. My prayers are with the remaining "D's" of the Dunbar family and may you find peace in recalling all the good times we all had with DLD. He was bigger than life!! Peace, ~pete

    So sorry for your loss. Great guy. Talked to him about buying a new car at one time. We were talking and laughing about old times. I backed up and hit the pole in the middle of the lot. We were laughing so hard he was laying on the front of my car. He said “ that’s gonna cost you a couple hundred”. He never forgot it. Memories
