After working with Denny in the early RF-days of autoracing, through the years, I always thought of Denny and what he was up to now! What a quality guy both personally and professionally. I feel fortunate that we got to work together one more time a couple years ago. From my family to yours, God Bless You.

Condolences from the Kavis family. Denny was a dedicated, hard worker and it was a priviledge to work beside him. His devotion to family was even more extraordinary. He often spoke of his children and grand children and went out of his way to entertain our boys whenever he got to see them. He will be missed by all those who knew him.

Shirley



I was so shocked to hear the news of Denny's death. We had heart-to-heart talks about our Mothers, knowing their time on earth was limited but never dreamed Denny was so close behind. I know how much you leaned on him during and after the loss of your Mother. Isn't God wonderful to have not called him home until after then? I praise God for placing you in my life and pray that he will continue to strengthen you and your family each day. I know you are hurting terribly right now, but God can and will ease that pain and replace it with precious memories!



Love and Prayers,

Mrs. Fussell, I was so sorry to hear about Mr. Fussell. I sold you both your home when you came to Macon. I knew you two were special people when we first met and through the years even though I haven't seen either of you; I often thought about you. For some unknown reason I had Mr. Fussell on my mind for several weeks prior to his death. When I read it in the paper I was so shocked and hurt. I am deeply sorry for your loss; He was truly a fine person. I pray God sends you strength in the coming days and please know your friends care.

Dear Shirley, Kevin and Scott, Although my husband Bob and I have never met your family or Denny, we felt as if we knew you. We heard so many wonderful comments about Denny through our son Jason Lyons. Our hearts have been so broken for you, Kevin and Scott since Jason relayed the news to us of Denny's untimely passing. You have been in our thoughts and prayers since and will be in the days ahead when it is the roughest. Jason told me that the team from Nashville will be at Denny's Memorial and we will there as well in spirit asking the Lord to comfort and hold you up during this sad time. Matthew 5:4

Dear Shirley, Kevin and Scott,

Stuart and I are in NYC and heard from Hugh yesterday. We are so saddened for you and all the family. The notice in the paper said it all about who Denny was and how devoted he was to all his family. We are sorry we cannot be with you on Saturday but we shall hold you in our hearts. Your strength will come from all that the love that Denny gave each of you over the years.
