Its just sad to learn of the gentleman's passing. I've read many postings of his assistance to BRNO shooters & owners here for years and never once saw a negative remark. I sincerely hope some of the posts in this thread may be shared w/his family as further confirmation of his kindness, support and generosity. He did a great deal to make others both more knowledgeable & happy in a field that few could.
And it is indeed generous that you are working toward making some of his estate available to persons here who will treasure it. Thank you, kind Sir. Its honestly touching. My heart felt condolences to Denny's family.

Wow, this is sad to hear.  I bought a few things from Denny many years ago (and now wookness has them!  ) and he was a really great guy to deal with.

I haven’t been in RFC for a few days but this is truly sad news.
Denny was one of the best men to deal with in any industry.
A true gentleman with the highest ethics.
He will be missed.
RIP

I have Brno sights on 3 of my rifles, thanks to Denny.
RIP Denny, condolences to the family.
He was one of the good ones!

Denny defined excellent customer service.

I talked to him about getting some things, he took my name and info, and sent it to me with an invoice.......while I was still waiting for his address to send him money....great to deal with, and a very honest man ! Rest in Peace.

I bought 2-3 Klinski C452 stocks and a couple of BRNO Match sights from him. He was a prince of a guy to deal with; straightforward and honest to a fault, if there is such a fault.
Rest in Peace, my friend.

Such a great guy. May he Rest In Peace.
Sights, stocks, single shot adapters and magazines and always shipped before payment go to him. Such a great resource to us. Truly one of a kind. So sorry to hear of his passing. I purchased quite a few items from him and they were always as advertised or better.
I've missed him for a long time.
RIP Denny, sir.

Very sad to hear. I noticed he had not been present and had not had stuff on GB. He sold me a number of accessories for my Brno No.4 Target rifle that are hard to find here. I also scored a perfect vz-48 air rifle trainer from him. Arrived the day after I sent the check.
A loss for the collecting and shooting community

I have noted the absence of Denny from RFC for some time, and have held out hope that he would rejoin us eventually. Everything I knew of Denny from the contacts we made intermittently over the years was positive. As long as I’m able to remember how nice BRNOs are I will remember Brnoman. He was well made too.

Really sad news.
I remember he had a pretty big health scare 7 years ago. His wish was to stay healthy enough, get his son through college, and for his disabled wife to retire.
Then it was out of the rat race of SoCal and off to his retirement 'garden home' that he had waiting for them in Czech. One could just feel his eyes glass over mentioning that.
I hope he made it to enjoy his dream the last couple/few years.
RIP Denny and thanks for being such a wonderful human being in your time spent here.
