In Memory

I have competed well; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith.       2Tim 4:7a
Whether you knew him as Denny O, Dennis, Denny, Mr. O, Mr. Oudenhoven, or as Coach O -- or any other moniker -- he was a tremendous teacher, coach, colleague and role model in his
nearly 40 years of teaching and coaching in the Fox Valley.  He battled heath problems since June, 2008.... returned from the hospital in late October, 2009 for hospice care at home, and passed away Nov. 24, 2009.  A Mass of Christian Burial was held Nov. 27 for Mr. O and a standing-room-only crowd said its final farewell as nearly 1,000 people packed St. Mary's Church on State Street in Appleton for the funeral services.

Only goodness and kindness follow me all the days of my life;
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord for years to come.
     Ps 23:6
