I just searched for you today online and have sadly found that you have passed away. I remember you so fondly visiting me in Newport NH in that convertible! You and Kevin and your mom were always so good to me. I read the above memories that have been shared about you and am so proud you were my cousin.

Dennis was kindhearted man. He loved the Dunkin' Donuts coffee that I would bring in for him every day just prior to him receiving therapy. Dennis always enjoyed hearing Sharon's infectious laugh. Dennis will be missed by his friends here at Salmon Brook.
