Sue - there are no words for me to say how much Papa Denny meant to me. Not everyone is blessed to have a 2nd dad like I was. I will forever hold him in my heart - he was always there for me to help me out physically and mentally. I dont know where I'd be now if you two were not in my life - I will miss him so very much saying this with a broken heart but a not so broken heart that he is at peace. He was a father to me and I will miss him so very very much. To you Sue - I love you and loved Denny with every ounce of my being. I'm always here for you and Denny Jr. This world has lost a great friend, father, brother etc. I will cherich all our memories forever. Papa Denny, until I see you again - can't wait to see what your building up in heaven.....I love you all. Your all in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Sue---I am so saddened to hear of your loss. Dennis went through so much and was so brave. I can't imagine how difficult the last three years have been for both of you, but I want you to know you both were and are in my thoughts and prayers. Wishing peace for you and your husband. Love, Deb
Although I am saddened by the
Although I am saddened by the death of Dennis, I know he is in a better place. As one of his physicians caring for him in his final years I can honestly say he was one of the bravest and most upbeat patients I have cared for. He was always very realistic, respectful, and appreciative. He faced a very difficult disease and operation head on and accepted the responsibility to make his own decisions. He battled through a most difficult and challenging surgery and beat the odds by surviving. He never gave up and did things according to his own terms. He died a very dignified death and I respect him for that. I will never forget Dennis for placing his trust in me and allowing me to have the privilege to care for him. My sincere condolences go to his entire family, but especially his wife, Sue. I will pray for Dennis. May God bless him.
Sincerely,
Dr. Steve Woratyla
