I was so saddened to learn of Dennis' passing. I managed Sell Rite Market and had the opportunity to work and know Dennis for many years. We lost track of each other after Sell Rite closed, but then re-connected when Dennis came to work for Unified Grocers. We traveled throughout Northern California and Hawaii together on many different projects for Unified Grocers. Dennis was one of the hardest workers I have ever known. Please accept my heartfelt sympathies. He was a great man, and will never be forgotten.
