My sincere sympathy to all of Dennis’ family. I have fond memories of growing up with Dennis and Lynnea in church at St. John’s Lutheran in Depew, as well as graduating with them in the class of ‘78. I remember Dennis as a quiet, funny, kind young man who loved pranks, wrestling, and had the best smirk in his wonderful smile!! God bless you all!!
