I got to know Denny here after meeting him when he placed a Craigslist ad selling some basses. Those here who knew him know that he was a terrific person, quality musician and more.
He had a P Bass Special for sale, and aside from offering me an incredible deal, he was welcoming, funny and just a great person. I think I ended up buying 3 or 4 more basses from him over the years.. I was roughly 40 minutes from him, so it was an easy, no-ship transaction... He was a quality member here at Talkbass.. A fun guy to chat with.. gracious.. and beyond helpful. Damn..
A short while afterward, I moved.. found him recently on FB and we chatted a few times..
Just this afternoon I saw a post from a family member and had to do a double take. I couldn't believe what I was reading

I was like, wait, WHAAAA??
I am just shocked.. again, those here that knew or had a chance to interact with him in person or on the board, will most definitely share my shock and sadness.
The TB community has lost a stellar member..
My heart goes out to his family..
