Denny is survived by his daughter, Diann Warta of New Ulm; son, Dean (Aleda) Warta of New Ulm; granddaughter, Becca Warta of New Ulm; grandson, Joey (Madeline) Warta of New Ulm; great-granddaughter, Cecila Warta of New Ulm; another great-grandchild on the way; and numerous nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Dorothy Warta; his parents; brother, Norm (Lois) Warta; parents-in-law, August & Lucille Kraus.

Denis Joseph Warta was born December 20, 1927 in New Ulm to Henry and Theresa (Hoffmann) Warta at Loretto Hospital. He graduated from Holy Trinity High School in 1945. After graduation, he enlisted in the United States Navy. Denny served from February 6, 1946 through December 6, 1947, and then in the Naval Reserve from 1948 through 1956. During his time in the reserves, he attended St. John’s University, then the University of Minnesota where he majored in Economics & Accounting. On September 26, 1950, Denny was united in marriage to Dorothy Kraus at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in New Ulm. Their union was blessed with a daughter, Diann, and a son, Dean.

As Denny would say, “I’m a collector of people!” His countless stories, jokes, and life experiences will continue to live on in all the people he knew and loved. Blessed be his memory.
