FATHER DENNY: Memorial service plans pending

The funeral Mass for Dennis Van Thuyne ("Father Denny") was said on Dec. 4 at St. Helena Church in Philadelphia, but I'm told his family wants to hold a memorial service closer to Kennett. I will let you know as soon as I hear anything. I know a great many people want to pay their respects and share with the family how much Father Denny will be missed.
Contributions in his memory can be sent to St. Charles Borromeo Seminary or the Brain Injury Association of PA, www.biapa.org.
Formerly a priest at St. Patrick's Chuch in Kennett, Father Denny suffered a traumatic brain injury during an assault in Philadelphia and started the "General Store" on State Street in Kennett to raise money for fellow victims.
