When I worked as a substitute teacher in Marshall, Dennis was always welcoming and gracious. He was a true gentleman and great scholar. My deepest sympathy to his family.

Sorry to hear of Dennis passing on. I remember him as a teacher of mine in Marshall Junior High. He was very dedicated and hard working. May God bless him and his family in this time of sorrow.

Doug and Chuck-
I was very sad to learn of the loss of your precious Dennis. When someone you love dies, it leaves an empty spot in your heart which could never be filled by any other person. What a wonderful gift we have from god in memories. When you close your eyes you can remember Dennis just as he was, happy and healthy. Soon, in a new world of god's making, all pain, suffering and sickness will be gone forever. Until then, I will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers.
A friend.
