Shirley and Ashley,
The staff at the Austin Admirals Club was very saddened to hear of the passing of Mr. Dennie. He was definitely one of our favorite customers. Each of us here looked forward to his visits. He always had a smile and a story for us. He would bring us cookies and leave his Dallas Morning News for us to read. He’d share pictures of his family, his boat, and latest vacation to Costa Rica. He was always generous especially at holiday times. Over the years he became much more than just a customer. He became part of our family. We will all miss him very much.
Marla, Kathy, Paula, DeNay, Mary, and Jennifer
