He shared his love of classic cars with his wife Annette and was a vital part  of her bus company, Mellor’s Bus Service. Drag racing in his 60’s and well into his 70’s earned him the name “Pops” by his car buddies. He valued his family and friendships above all else. Denny’s breakfast meals shared with friends and all-you-can-eat crabs with family were favorite activities to connect with others. He was ever present at birthdays, cookouts, and other celebrations.
