Denny and I were good buddies since grammer school. Denny's family lived on Parkway and I lived on Dracena Ave. with Dracena park in the middle. We would play in that park all day and into the night, we climbed over the fence to the quarry with home made rafts. We would ride our Flexy Racers down the center path at what seemed like 100 miles an hour. We had "Whamo" sling shots and tried to hit anything that moved. I remember his older brother, Barney, had a My-Eye party and we were the servers of the punch, I don't know what was in that punch but, it made those kids do crazy things. My parents were concerned he was a bad influence, do ya think? I loved Denny like a brother. We spent many a Saturdays at the Mountain View Cemetary riding our bikes, go karts and stuff and hiding from the security (white) car guy that would be driving around, we even snuck into one of the tombs and looked a dead people, we had a blast. In H.S. we were in bands together and Denny was the drummer, one year he played the kettle drums on stage to the "madisom twist" at the talent show, he had a lot of rythm. After graduation we kinda drifted apart although he ended up working as a grounds keeper at that very cemetary and I did go over there several times and we reminisced. Jeff Robinson lived in Benicia and organized a few get togethers with certain friends from Piedmont, I had a chance to talk to Denny and laugh about our times as kids. I'm so sorry to have heard this awful news. Denny will be an adventures memory forever. Rest well my friend

Hello PHS 63! I was sad to hear of Denny Pierpont's passing.
I remember him well. He delivered groceries to our home in Piedmont.
He would enter through our back kitchen door, and say loudly "Hamby's Delivery".
He was always very polite and cheerful.
I saw through Jeff's photos, that he enjoyed fishing, hanging out with friends - Jeff and others.
Those times looked very special, and I'm sure Jeff was sad to say goodbye to Denny.
PS: I loved Denny's long white beard! He looked very happy in his older years. Hope he was!
