Dear Mrs. Yeager and Family,

Dear Nanci, Ben, and Cory. I send to you my deepest sympathy and prayers. Please know that my thoughts are with you. Even though I was only Denny’s Executive Assistant at WesBanco for a short time after I started in 2001, he always talked about how much he loved his family and how proud he was of his sons.
Dear Nanci, Cory and Ben,
We will sorely miss our dear friend, Denny. His courage and determination in the face of such adversity were a true inspiration to all who knew and loved him. And no matter what, he never lost that great sense of humor! We are grieving with you…..with our love, Julia and Fred
Dear Nancy, Boys & Family,

Death cannot separate hearts that knew true love. How fortunate you were to have shared each other’s lives. Your love for each other and family was certainly special.
I fondly remember our days at Wheeling Park High. You were the most fun.
I am so sorry for your loss. I took care Of Dennis many times over the years when he would come in for his solumedrol treatments on special procedures at Wheeling Hospital. He was a kind and friendly man. He will be greatly missed.
I met Dennis many years ago when I first started at WesBanco. He was always so kind and helpful – and a well respected man at the bank. I was very sadden to hear of his passing.
I was incredibly saddened to hear of Denny’s passing. It has been many years since I left the Ohio Valley but in those years I have thought of Denny often. Denny was my first boss out of college, he was a mentor and a friend. To this day when I run into a rough patch, I will often think about how Denny would have handled the situation. Please accept my and my family’s condolences on your loss.
My Dear Nancy;
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. When you feel up to it, please send me your mailing address so that I can send you a personalized greeting card.
Sincerely,
John Fell
