"Denny was so good to all of our family. Each and every friend and relative always looked forward to seeing him at their home or family gatherings. He helped each one of us step children in so many ways. He could fix something and make it look so much better. He loved being busy with small chores which was such a help to me as a single woman. He loved eating Prime Rib at The Pace House and left over Burgandy mushrooms on Sunday. He was the father that I longed to have. He was what family is all about. He's the only connection that I have of a real family. I'm just so sorry that I lost his presence so long ago. I will never forget."
In loving memory of
Dennis P. Vetter

"Well Denny I remember when you started to come around our house and we started getting aquainted. Next thing you know you purchased that boat we started to get together every Sunday, and we went up the Mississippi and went through the dam and ate dinner on Sunday, then come back home. We always had a good time and a lot of laughs together. I'm going to miss your phone calls, and miss you too. So long budy we love you"
"My Grandpa was my favorite man to walk this earth. He was everything strong, beautiful, and pure to me. He taught me how to swim and taught me how to drive. He called me all the time and was a constant in my life. My number one fan. Nothing can describe how much I miss him and treasure the time we had together. I am so thankful for the lessons, the love, and the support. I will carry his legacy on with me and my future children."
