Our thread for a friend named Denny

[Capt Terry]

I resisted responding because I had spoken with Denny personally shortly after Pat's death. However, Susie's message inspired me to share this. I may have known Denny longer than anyone on CSC. We probably met in 1970 during my first year of my engineering career at Pratt & Whitney. He was in the performance group- no surprise, right? He was very sharing of information with a newbie, most of it over my head. We worked together on and off for the next 30 years until I moved to SC.
I was on one or two of the Bahamas trips which included Restless Lady & Unohu, but on a different friend's boat (the 23' Formula which replaced the cracked Wellcraft from an earlier Bahamas crossing which Denny has shared in some posts). On one of those trips Denny, Pat & Susie stayed in the neighboring cottage at Green Turtle. In 1976 ,Anita & I ordered our 20' Seafari after a fast, wild demo ride with Denny out through the Palm Beach inlet. That ride convinced us! Not long after Denny & I built swim platforms cutting the teak on my Shopsmith. When Denny added the Hermco bracket, he gave his platform to 65Bowrider. In 2013 when I was re-engining, long story short, is Denny recommended the 150 ETEC. And as always he had lots of techy info to share. He has continued to happily provide comments & advice. When I sent him a SeaCraft hat in appreciation, we became acquainted with Carla & Skip. So Denny thanks for your friendship and may God be with you and Susie during this difficult period. As this site has shown you are surrounded by people who care for and respect you.
