I worked with Denny many years and also his son Bruce.

Denny was a great asset to the community and the fishing industry.

He will be sadly missed at club meetings and the people that new him. Till we meet again my friend.

A legend around the Hamilton fishing scene.

 

A true role model.

 

He was one of the first who sat me down and explained the importance of reading the water, looking beyond what is directly in front of me, and seeing the "big picture".

 

Sound fluffy...however, the advice likely helped me more than anything else I have learned to date.

 

He was a top notch angler, as is his son Bruce.

 

Sad news indeed.

Was at the Funeral home Friday and was not surprised by the amount of friends that came to pay there respects. The slide show that was put on by the family only showed you 1/2 of Denny they could not find all that they wanted to show but it was still a great reminder of what a great friend and mentor Denny Was..

 

 

He will be missed...

 

 

Rest in Peace my Friend and Mentor
