Den had many passions throughout his life. He earned a master’s degree in special education, teaching for over 30 years. He enjoyed fishing, camping, golfing and riding his bike on his favorite trails. In 75 meaningful years, his family, friends and pets were his world. His love, generosity and sense of humor will live on forever and always. We love you, Pops.
