So sorrycto hear of his passing. I tried to call him on his birthday in May but did not reach him. We grew up together and did teen things together. I remember once when Bruce made him angry and he punched the bathroom door. We tried to fix it before our parents got home. He was a great and fun cousin who stood strong in the face of challenges growing up. Prayers and blessings go out to his children and grandchildren! Love Cousin Aurelia

God bless you, Mr. Denos. I didn´t know you well, but I have been honored to have the friendship of your son in my life for the last several years. You raised a wonderful person, whom I consider to be my best friend. I see the love he has for both you and his mother, and I thank you two for the wonderful human you both shaped him to be. May you Rest in Peace.

Dad,

I can honestly tell you we did everything we absolutely could. We exhausted every option and left no stone unturned. It was a many month / years fight, till the end. Now you are at peace. You are in heaven with Mom, Cathy, candy and all the others. Say hi to all of them for me.


Sometimes we sit back and wonder why things happen the way they do. And there are no answers. All we can do is accept what happened, try to learn from it and try to extract whatever lesson there is to be learned. And pick up the pieces and try to move forward. and be better.


You were / are a great father and a great man. I enjoyed all the years we spent doing what we did. Watching the Cubs.. i'm glad I got to experience a World Series with you. .. and all the other sports, World Series. Football. Hockey. It was a good ride. One that I will never forget. I will take what you and Mom instilled into me and try to move forward with it. Implementing it in every day of my life. I promise you I will keep your legacy going. I will do the things you did. And I will honor what you were about.


Although you are not here physically, you will be here in spirit. Your teachings. And what you stood for, will move on and remain through all of us. Since mom passed, I wouldn't trade the last 16 years for anything. They were great. I had a front row seat to such a great time, in all we did. I wouldn't trade it for the world.


I love you, Dad. I hope you know I gave it everything I had.


Love, George Jr
