My deepest sympathy on the loss of Dennis at so young an age

May the Lord bring peace to the hearts of the family and friends
The Lord watches closely and thankful we are.
That though gone from our sight
He is not really too far.

On behalf of the 1956 Classmates of Lindenhurst High School, truly sorry to hear the loss of Dennis. He was well respected by his classmates and was asked for at our 50th Class Reunion. I spoke to him last at the time of the 50th Reunion. He will be missed. Deepest Sympathy.

I was sorry to read about Dennys passing. We were friends for many years. He was a good man with a big heart. I have been away from Long Island for a long time, and I'm glad I had the opportunity to visit him the last time I was there.
My sympathies to the family.
