Dennin was a Father, Grandfather, Husband,Brother,Uncle and Friend.  

Denny was a gifted and talented fisherman and hunter. Some would say ‘Legend’. He fished far & wide and made many friends in his travels.

He moved to the Texas Gulf Coast 30 years ago but returned to Minnesota every spring. Living on the island of Port Aransas TX and visiting Minnesota allowed for year round fishing and hunting. A life many dream of.

He will be dearly missed but the stories and memories of his life, adventures & teachings will be eternally helpful and comforting.
