Dear Mrs Murphy and Family
I got a call Wednesday, 2/17, about Dennis' passing. I needed to call him for a haircut. He was my barber for many years and I always looked forward to seeing him. We had lively conversations. He was concerned about his wife's condition, being limited to the wheelchair. I pray that Jesus will be a comfort and strength to all your family. Don Smith

Just heard about Dennis’ passing last evening. So sad to hear. He was not only an excellent barber but a good friend that I enjoyed seeing every month. I will miss him. Mike Taylor.

I’m so sorry to hear of Dennis’ passing. I was one of his customers for many years until our move to Colorado in ‘17. First time I went to a barber out here, I was asked “what would you like today?” It took me a few seconds and I finally told him that I wasn’t sure because I had been going to the same barber for almost 40 years and he just knew what to do! I’ve missed visiting with Dennis since I moved away. A visit to his shop was something I always looked forward to.
I pray for comfort and peace for all of your family.
