Just learned of this site. This man was my grandfather.I have heard the story of how he died since I can remember. We had a huge photo of him in uniform that we saw every day. I loved saying his name..Loner Denson....we all wished we could have had him in our lives. So glad to have this place to tell everyone..we loved him even if he was gone.
