Dennis, you were a good friend who always had a smile to share and a never ending supply of optimism. I wish we had stayed in contact more after high school so I might have gotten to know your family better. The place your in now has gotten better because you are there. You will always be missed. I offer my sincere condolences to the entire Cleveland family.

Dennis was the kind of father who never missed a beat. A concert, a play, even my middle school fashion shows. He was my biggest fan, always supportive and proud. We went everywhere together, work or play. From diners to roller-rinks, plowing to landscaping, bookstores to hair-salons, sheetrocking to concrete, camping, swimming, fishing...we did it all. We laughed until we cried, cried when things got tough but no matter what we were always there for eachother. He was the most fun, loving, adoring, dedicated father a girl could ask for. You are always and forever a part of me. I don't know what to do without you here. All I can do is continue to be your daughter and strive to make you proud.
Daddy,
I love you and miss you more! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
I sincerely thank my family and friends and for all of their support. You really get me through. I am so grateful to be loved so much.

Dennis,
It has been many years, but it has not washed away the memories. When I got the call Saturday, it all came flooding back. I will always remember roller skating and pulling you behind the snowmobile. We never laughed so much. You were always a kind and gentle person and I know you are in a better place now. Dara will miss you terribly and you will never be forgotten. I will always keep you in my prayers and I would have liked to have been able to come and say goodbye, but I will have to do it here. Take care and thank you for the great memories!!! I know you are at peace now. I would like to let your family know that I am thinking of them.

Dennis was an all-round friendly student when we knew him at So. Jr. High and NFA. Later in life we felt priviledged to meet him at Alexus Diner for cup of coffes and conversation when he was often helping other friends. We know he has a special place in Heaven. His former teachers, Jeanne (Whitehurst) Dolan, Ruth (Whitehurst) Crouse, and Jane (Whitehurst) Stryker

Dennis was the most unselfish, loyal, giving of himself and best friend anyone could wish for. Our family will never forget what a true friend he was to our Father, Art Brewer. We know Artie will be glad to see him in heaven. God will bless you Dennis.
