Denny, I miss you, a great friend, brother and rubber ball foe. Never forget having Dennis Collum feel the wrath of our mom because we threw rocks at his car. Love ya man.

Matt,

My deepest condolences to Denny's family. We met while residing at Lakewood Trailer Park in Davenport. Spent great times there where Nick & our kids grew up together. I can say, he was no Al Bundy - he never told old stories of his high school years....that was a nice surprise to hear.

May the good times see you all through the difficult times you may be having right now.

Met Denny ( Pudge ) in College at Marshalltown back in early 70's. One of the best roommates you could ask for. Great athlete and an even better sense of humor. We played on football team together but Denny was an excellent basketball player as well. Always had a good line to add to conversation or we would compare our sports stories to see which one of us was best. Seems like Pudge would always win. I know Denny had to bring a smile to those who knew him---- many many good memories. Prayers- Greg Joens

I went to school with Denny in Williamsburg, across the street from where he lived, and St Marys Chatechism class behind where he lived. Denny always had a smile and a great sense of humor. Enjoyed his athletic prowess at WHS in the 70's. My sincere condolences to the Petz family.

Thoughts and Prayers to The Petz Family. My memmory of Denny, he was always smiling laughing, or trying to someone else laugh. ( Like in church in the 70's!! Martin would be giving him a tearse look during mass. Dad, hated giggling kids in church.)

He ,when I asked, tried to help me learn how to drive a clutch car. Looking back, I bet that Toyoto Corrolla needed a new clutch sooner --But good news was I bought a car from Marengo dealership. His college roommate's girlfriend lived in the same apratment building I did,; the two would stop by and check up on my roommate and I . Wasn't the best neighborhood.

He was a good person to have as friend. Prayering for his peace and your loss.

Sorry for your loss. Remember his great sports days in Williamsburg. Watched him play many times.J

Denny was a wonderful uncle and godparent. He was one of the kindest people I know, and was always genuinely happy to see me, which meant so much. He loved to joke around and make people laugh. I have many fond memories of times we shared when I was growing up that I will always treasure. He is a very special person who will always remain close in my heart. I will truly miss him.

Denny worked for us for over 17 years at Wensco Sign Supply, we had become great friends. He was a good person and fun to be around, he made us laugh (a lot). He will be greatly missed by all.
