Shirley & Joe,
I was so sorry to hear about Dennis. I haven't seen Dennis in years. We sure had some good times growing up. God bless you and your family during this difficult time.

I got to know Dennis over the past 4-5 years, through my cousin. Dennis was an devoted friend to all those he loved. I so enjoyed his dry sense of humor, his cozy apartment and the way that he enjoyed all his plants and animals (living and in statue form!) I will miss his playful emails and our lovely chats. Rest in peace. love from La Canada, Nalini Lasiewicz
