Our world will shine a little less because Dennis left us, but I know I'm not alone when I say so many of us will carry on his legacy. Dennis was an unwitting role model and a surrogate father to many of the neighborhood kids who passed in and out of the doors of his home or hung out upstairs in the garage. His door was always open and he never hesitated to help anyone in their time of need. Honesty, humor and kindness were just a few qualities he possessed. I am so sorry for your loss.
