Obit Stowe Reporter:

Denis Blanck, 68, a former golf pro in Stowe and Waterbury, died Sunday, April 1, 2012, in the comfort of Peppi's House Hospice in Tucson, Ariz., after a two-year battle with multiple myeloma.

He was born June 5, 1943, in Hoboken, N.J., and always talked about New Jersey with fond memories, particularly about the Jersey Shore.

At Hackensack High School, Denis was an all-state football player and a state champion discus thrower.

He attended the University of Vermont and made many great friends there, and enjoyed playing football when UVM still had a football team.

He left Vermont for graduate school in New Jersey, then law schools in Maine and Massachusetts.

While at Boston College, Denis was drafted. He completed his law degree at the University of Denver while serving in the Air Force.

His career path was very diverse. He practiced law in Vermont and Colorado, was the editor of Ring Magazine in New York City, and then returned to Vermont and became a golf professional. Denis worked at Stowe Country Club, Blush Hill Country Club in Waterbury, and St. Johnsbury Country Club. His final job as a professional golfer was at Neshobe Golf Club in Brandon, Vt., until 2003.

In those years, he and his wife, Karen, also ran Edson Hill Manor in Stowe and were co-owners of Home Bake Pizza in Stowe.

In 1995, Denis and Karen took on another adventure, moving to Tucson. It just seemed like a good idea. In 1996, Denis and Karen bought a commercial cleaning business and Denis was still working in the business until about a week before he entered Peppi's House.

Everyone could learn something from Denis' positive attitude. Through all his health problems, he never complained and he never gave up. A friend described him as being just like his St. Bernard dog, a gentle giant. He loved his family, friends and his dogs. He also loved to play golf, which he did until he was moved to resident hospice.

Survivors include his wife, Karen, of Tucson; daughter Suzanne, her husband Jerry, and his grandsons Riley, Tucker and Colby of Denver; his stepsons Mark Liepert and wife Rebecca, and Matthew Leipert of Stowe; his brother Thomas and sister-in-law Maggie of Brooklyn, N.Y.; and several cousins and nephews.

Denis graduated with a law degree from the University of Denver in 19??.

Denis left the law in 1985. See PEOPLE v. BLANCK -

"The respondent, Denis John Blanck, is disbarred and shall not be readmitted to the practice of law in the State of Colorado except upon compliance with the requirements of C.R.C.P. "
