Denny will be strongly missed for his kindness, and tough trading in fantasy sports. When I needed someone to talk to or trade with, he was normally there. Even though I never met Denny in real life, I know that I would have enjoyed watching sporting events with him and his knowledge. As my family has grown, we learned more and more about each other and how each of us loved our family's and put them ahead of fantasy sports. I was in a fantasy football league with Denny, and every time he would be in a league that needed a new owner I would get the call via email or IM. He even started in baseball where he did not have as much knowledge but chose to learn more and did well. A number of weeks ago, he had mentioned being in the hospital, but I did not realize that he ended up passing. My condolences to the family of Denny for he will truly miss each and every one of you with Love Always, and when we in the fantasy world refer to the "Fantasy Gods", we will know that Denny is there giving balance to the world.
A true Family Man and a Fantasy Sports Friend always,
Rest in peace,

Never having known each other in real life, I "met" Dennis in 2011, in an online fantasy baseball league I created at ESPN.
From the very start, Dennis was one of the most positive and knowledgeable members I ever came across. He always showed great sportsmanship and a deep love for baseball, football and ice-hockey, in particular. His teams were always amongst the favourites to win our leagues. He was respected and liked by all of our members.
He soon joined more of our leagues and invited me to join his. Soon enough, I developed an admiration for Dennis and made him an invitation to share managing duties on our leagues, to which he accepted. I was delighted, and I've always felt safe knowing that, if something happened to me, Dennis was there to "steer the ship". We have been teaming up on our hobby since then.
I was just informed of what happened and I just don't want to believe this is true.
In behalf of every member of the Manager Fantasy Leagues, you will be very missed. It will be impossible to replace you and I'm at a loss on what to do without your invaluable help. Thank you for making our leagues richer with your presence, it was a true pleasure teaming up with you.

Deepest regrets. What a positive-upbeat attitude he brought to everyone he came in contact with.
He will be missed.
