1956 Eureka City Directory

Avid sportsman, loved to hunt and fish. Owned and operated Tiny's Bar on Fifth Street in Eureka with wife Peg. Attached to the bar was a 10 lane bowling alley and later they took over the restaurant portion of the bar. Peg always said it was downhill from there. Had a fishing boat called "Tiny's Little Fisher" and would go out often to fish for the restaurant. After they sold Tiny's, Denver continued working as a bartender at various establishments.
