Miss you more than life brother…hope to see you when it’s my time . In -Kai-…Dr. Karl W. Cloninger and love from Becky Short
Dear Friend and OOH Industry Legend. You will always be my heart. We had so many wonderful memories over the past 25 years. Thank you for everything you taught me. I will never forget you. My condolences to your family. Rest in peace.
ROLL TIDE. Andrea Messimer-Henley and Family.
Denny, you have always been a favorite cousin.
When we were children at family gatherings on our grandparents farm, you always seemed positive and your sense of humor kept me laughing which probably started all these laugh lines I now possess.
I regret we have lived these hundreds of miles apart all our lives but we will live eternally in the same town, HEAVEN. See you then!
Love, Peggy (Grissom) Bolton
Cousin Dennie we’ve made a lot of memories throughout our childhood days. No worries in this great big world all we did was play . I knew you would have my back that I could count on you even now since we’ve grown up I know that still is true. I can’t remember the first time I saw your face but I just know you made everyone happy and so many funny stories by blood we are cousins by our hearts we’re friends RIP dear one
Sandy and family, Dwayne and I are so sad to get this news! Denny was such a wonderful and dear friend to Dwayne. And I will always remember Denny and his witty personality going back to my Creative Displays sales department days with him. I hate we won’t be able to be there with you today and help celebrate Denny’s wonderful life. Denny will always be remembered as a special friend to both of us. Many prayers will be lifted for you Sandy and family.
Dwayne and Elaine
I was so glad to have reconnected with Dennie after he moved back to Lauderdale County. He attended a couple of our high school classmate luncheons, and he called me a couple of times inquiring about our upcoming reunion which we have had to postpone because of COVID. I’m sorry he did not live many more years to enjoy his beautiful home on the lake and his well-deserved retirement.
So sorry to hear this. I will miss the conversations and fellowship we had had Killen Lodge. He was a great brother.
