Denny and his family enjoyed snow skiing, traveling, camping, and being at the Phoenix house in the winter. Denny so disliked the cold weather that he would take the family to a warm destination to spend every Christmas holiday.

Denny started Rosenbaum Electric thirty years ago, and for forty years he was a member of Local 22 union. He also served as President of NECA, and also served on the apprentice board. At the age of 55 Denny achieved another milestone when he earned his private pilots license. He was so proud that he could recognize all the small towns in western Nebraska by each towns water tower.
