Not sure what to say?





Dennis worked for me at IBM Tucson as a manager; he was a professional employee, dedicated worker, and dedicated friend. I was chocked to learn of his passing yesterday, February 19, 2014, from a fellow manager, Jim Palma. I know he is in good hands.

I only knew Dennis for a couple of years. He gave new meaning to the phrase- good neighbor. He was such an interesting man and always helpful. I will miss him. There are not nearly enough people in this world like Dennis.

I worked with Dennis at IBM and learned a lot from him as he helped me to become a manager there. I always admired and respected him. It is so sad he was taken so young. My heart goes out to his wife and family.
