Some of us are lucky enough to have both a wonderful biological family and equally wonderful "friend families," who mean as much, or more, to us than blood relatives. Mr. Denchy served as a surrogate dad and celebrated many of my life's milestones - including prom with Ruth, driving me and Connie to college, my undergrad and master's graduation celebrations, holidays, and standing with us when we buried my grandmother, nephew, and my own father in 2022. While I am happy to know he didn't suffer, not having him with us anymore is going to be difficult. He will forever stand as a role model father, community member, Air Force officer, and friend. RIP
