I never had the privilege of meeting you, Joan but I have had the honor of working with your son for the past 19 years. He is a wonderful doctor who cares deeply for his patients; is totally devoted to Susan and the kids; and has a great sense of humor to top it all! So, Joan, you must have been quite a lady to have given the world such a true gentleman. Thank you for the gift of your son.

I knew Dennis and had the honor of working with him at WBZ. I knew Paula a bit less. My heart goes out to Mrs. Kauff, the Kauff family, and Paula, for losing a wonderful son and husband, and I hope Dennis' legacy brought Mrs. Kauff the best rewards possible while withstanding the agony of tragically losing Dennis.
