Condolence: Thinking of you now and always Uncle Denny! Hope the Bucs win for you this year. We miss you so much!

Condolence: Such a great loss for everyone who knew Denny. My sincere condolences to his family. We attended Eisenhower College together and the many memories of him can still bring me to laughter. He was smart and funny, and his legacy will live on in the stories we still tell about "Gearhart" and our time together at EC. Rest in peace. You will be missed. Deb aka "Sharpe" Eisenhower College class of 1976.

Condolence: I'm saddened to read of the loss of Denning, who was such a respected student leader during his years at Eisenhower College. Sharp, witty...he just naturally attracted admiring friends. Regrettably, our paths had not crossed since our undergraduate years. Thoughts and prayers for him and his family. David Catherman, Eisenhower '72

Condolence: I, too, was a classmate of Denny's at Eisenhower College now nearly 50 years ago. I remember him fondly for the true grit that always seemed to animate him as he faced down a world full of obstacles to overcome. And, overcome them he did!

Condolence: Sadly, I learned of Denny's passing just moments ago in the Eisenhower Alumni Newsletter. Though it's been many years since I'd seen him, I have great memories of Denny...his intelligence...his courage...his humor and his friendship. My heartfelt condolences to his family.

Condolence: A find man, and wonderful raconteur, and most of all, a kind heart. Your passing has left a hole in the universe. May your memory remain bright in the heart of those of us who knew you. -- Mary L. Flett, Eisenhower College, Class of 1975

Condolence: This was a great man, with great intellect, great wit, great spirit, great heart, great strength, great charm and great determination. He was also a great example. All who knew him will miss him.

Condolence: The staff of F.L. Sims Funeral Home extend our sincere condolences to the Lydia and the entire Gearhart family. May God give you comfort and peace during this dark hour.

Condolence: Mrs. Gearhart, and all the family, We extend our sincere condolences to all of you. Denning was a good person I am sure he will be missed by all. God Bless Sincerely, The Rubbe family

Condolence: I am sorry to hear of his passing. I first met Denny when he worked the concession stand at the Community Pool when I was a kid. He had a great sense of humor about him and loved a good battle of wits with anyone about nearly anything ! He fought hard for everything he conquered in life and I greatly admired him for that. This community has lost another stand out figure and he will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. Thinking of you all, Rick I encountered Denny on a daily basis years ago while we both were working in town, he always had a funny story to tell me about something or someone. Denny was very kind hearted, and always thinking of others. Denny was also adventurous and thrill seeking. I was fortunate to have been able to call him a friend. Prayers to his family and friends. Prayers, Jacki

Condolence: I will greatly miss my long time friend. Denny. So many happy times shared since I first met him at Eisenhower College back in 1972. He could always make me laugh. My condolences to his family. He was a treasure.

Condolence: He is not gone who is well-remembered ... Denning will always be in my heart. A lovely friend for the two short years since I became his neighbor, I truly wish we'd had opportunity to become long-time friends. My sincerest condolences to his mother Dot, to his family and to Dori. He'll be sorely missed by all.

Condolence: R. Denning...wow, it's been a long time...I think back to those times that he helped us out over at the Children and Youth Services...I sit here and smile at the memories of times past...he was a good man...rest in peace my friend...Tim

Condolence: Was sadden to arrive at work last night, to learn of Denning's passing. Always so interesting to talk with as we cared for him and I know he will be missed by his family and community, as well as many others. He used to comment on my calling him Denning, and I always told him I always noted his used of his middle name when I was younger reading the newspaper. My deepest thoughts and prayers for his Mom, his brother, Dan and the remainder of his family.

Condolence: This breaks my heart..... “Dorothy Byers son”, so sad to hear of his passing. A very enjoyable person. We had many great conversations. I know how much he loved his family. Prayers to all of you. God Bless Nancy Condon
