Bert's recent memory says it all - Den was eternally positive. His happiness was infectious; if you were down, he was determined to cheer you up. I think I can count, on one hand, the times that he needed cheering up. It's a Wonderful Life was his favorite movie and Den was a lot like George, he powerfully affected us all. Last Christmas season, he wanted to go to the Penn Theater in Plymouth to see his favorite movie, so we went! Unfortunately, the line was all the way down the block and it was COLD, so we changed plans and decided to watch it in the comfort of his living room. We had a wonderful night enjoying the movie and talking. I miss you deeply, Den, we all do.  Merry Christmas!

Thinking of you on your Birthday Radz! 

 It was a beautiful fall Sunday in 1981.  Bert and I had just bought our first house and planned to make a great dinner for my parents-first ever.  Bert left early that morning -to play in his grown man touch football league-and would be home in plenty of time to help me cook.  It was mid afternoon, still no Bert and I definitely couldn't cook cornish hens myself.  At 3:00 in the afternoon Radz just randomly showed up at the door-in town from his latest adventure-and saw how distressed!! I was.  Well, he stayed and taught me how to make the BEST cornish hens ever.  (The secret was heavy paprika all over the bird).  The guy could really cook even at a young age AND he saved his buddy Bert that day (who we found later at Oak Cafe-his team sponsor :)         Miss you Radz!!
