Denny was an owner/operator of the former Myers Brothers Meat Market in Spring Mills. He was a member of the New Hope Lutheran Church in Spring Mills. You could usually find him in the corner of the kitchen, during the public dinners, running the dishwasher and occasionally squirting someone with water. He was an avid sports fan, enjoying all things Pittsburgh and Penn State, plus NASCAR as well. Denny had a love for gardening, especially flowers. He spent many hours outside during the summer tending them, and in the winter propagating them in his basement. He also collected sports memorabilia and, in his younger years, enjoyed hunting. Denny and Ruth Ann hold a permanent camping spot at Hemlock Acres where Denny loved to host family gatherings especially during holidays.
A visitation for family and friends will be held on Wednesday, November 9, 2022, from 10-11 am at the New Hope Lutheran Church in Spring Mills, followed by the Celebration of Life service at 11:00 am with Pastor Lauretta Dietrich officiating.
