So sorry to hear Uncle Denny passed away. While growing up in Lincoln going to Touhy was one of the things I enjoyed the most. Playing up on the hill at your place. Watching the guys play ball and horseshoes ,seeing everyone at the track. I remember Uncle Denny constantly telling us the Diane(Cheyenne) was the best ball player out there and I probably agreed. Again sorry for your loss.
