MY cousin Denny will always be one of the best in my times as a kid at the relative's place in Yoakum, Texas in the early 60's, and most recently, in July of 2010, when my son & I drove from my hometown of Chipita Park, Colorado, for vacation & met Denny and most of his family after almost a 46 year passage...I was so thrilled at seeing him again on that wonderful summer day at Ninfa's Restaurant in Houston with his wonderful fun-loving Louise and a few names I recall...Matt & Michelle in particular...and looking back now, I'm saddened by the time that has passed between us for the lack of memories we might have made...and yet, I'm serene in the fact that I pursued the dream and reality of connecting with him after all these years...I recently sent him a scanned copy of his times in high school as a "Gonzales Apache" in 1961, and he told me he was thrilled to receive such an artifact of the heart and his youth...THAT was something that made me so happy as well! I will miss U my dear cousin, and most of all for the moments U always referred to me as "BD"...no one ever called me by my first and middle intitials..it was OUR way of communicating...and always will be just OURS! from BD Howard
My dear uncle Denny, he was always very encouraging and a positive for me, especially when I was going through a struggle in my life.....he came right out and said he knew I was hurting and it would be ok. It meant so much to me and I knew he loved me and was in my corner always. It was always so good to see him because he had a nice greeting, "pretty girl", "hey gorgeous", and was kind to everyone. He kept up with my son's sports stats and cut out the newspaper articles that mentioned his sports acheivements. I remember when I was young, don't know how old I was?, and had a bike accident when the family was over and he picked me up and I bled all over his shirt and I was telling him I was sorry, he said, it's ok, no problem, just want you to be ok, and I was forever bonded with him. He was a good man and I will miss him dearly. It's so great to hang out with my cousins, who are all, in their own way, a perfect culmination of Uncle Denny and Aunt Louise, it's a kick and so much fun! A great thing! Love you all; you are a great family! Uncle Denny, See you again someday. Love you!

Uncle Denny An Brother in Law We'll miss you at the farm and other gatherings and getting the newspaper on Sunday mornings from Flatonia. Give me your address and I'll bring it to you in Heaven.

Louise, the boys and family, We love ya. May God bless you at this time. Our love and prayers to all of you. We will always miss Denny.
Mr. McGill loved his family - you could tell he was so proud of them just by the smile on his face when they were together. We enjoyed watching Mr. McGill give Matt an encouraging wink and nod as he would come up to bat.
Our condolences to the entire McGill Family we know you are grieving for the loss of a great man.
I will never forget him. Along with most of the guys Mark and I grew up with he was a huge part of my life. He was a fierce competitor and a winner. (which he instilled in his sons). But more importantly, he proved to us countless times how much he loved us and cared for us.
Dear Louise,Greg,Pat & Mark, I'm so sorry for you loss Dennis was a special man and will be greatly missed by alot of people. I always enjoyed the times that I got to just sit and visit with him, mostly talking about sports and bragging on grand kids. Louise I love like a mom and Greg like the brother I never had if I can do anything just call. 1Peter 5:6-7, John 14:1-4
Hi this is Emma. I wish i could see you right now but I know you are in heaven watching me right this second. I love you so much.
I'm Jacob Mcgill and I loved my grandpa very much. We did every thing together. He was my best buddy. We went to north shore football games all the time. We always went to the batting cages together and hit. Every time we went over the rail road tracks he honked and made me laugh so much. He always came to all of my sporting events and taught me so many things about sports and life. I loved him very much.
