Had the pleasure of knowing Denny and the honor of sparring some rounds with a true boxing master. Soft spoken and humble belied a fierce warrior in the ring.
We met Denny & Sandy when we lived at Crooked River Ranch. Really nice people & funny. He was a friendly & down to earth. He’ll be missed.
I went to school with Denny’s wife Sandy Jarvis. She was the one who introduced me to my husband (now deceased) and I will never forget her or Denny. My father loved to watch him box! Never missed a match with him in it!
Denny Moyer lived across the street from me in the housing development called Kellog Park. This was in the middle fifties. Denny and Phil would spar in there front yard and always draw a small crowd of locals. The brothers were very friendly and enjoyed talking to their neighbors. I remember Denny played the guitar and sang. Not bad either.
Grew up with his daughters Denise, Wendy. And Cindy. They were our neighbors on 158th st portland oregon. Early to late seventies. Would be awesome to reconnect with them.
