He was Discharged 23 Jul 1956. His record states he was in the Air Force from 11 Dec 1947-20 Mar 1950. It also states he was in Leavenworth & McNeil Island, which tells me he may have deserted or he committed a Federal Crime of some sort.

Why did he get into so much trouble? Did his children ever know him? If he would of stayed in the service would that of helped mold him differently? So many what if's but life is like that and once we make a choice we have to live with it no redo buttons or time machines sadly to say.
Denny was reckless and needed some sort of grounding.
He was the only son he had 3 sisters. He looks just like his father, see photo below of Green Berry McCurry.
