Not sure what to say?

Now you can play Texas Holden with some of the greats, catch that royal flush.

Sorry for your loss

Your dad was such a fun loving person, always laughing, never met a stranger. He was the first Portell I met. His family lived only two blocks from mine. He gave me my first ride on a motorcycle back in 1965. I burned my leg on the muffler. Back then, he introduced himself as 'Maynard'. Of course, you had to have watched the TV sitcom, Dobie Gillis to understand. Maynard was a Gilligan type character (Gilligan's Island), played by the same actor.

I worked with Dennis for many years at Maritz.
He was always a happy person to work with.He will be greatly missed...
Co-worker Pat

I will miss his laughter and hugs, his smile and love, he was a wonderful man who was always there for me, he will sorely be missed.

We are very sorry to hear of Dennis' passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

There are a lot of things that I will miss, but i think what i will miss most of all is the sound of his voice, his smiles and most of all his hugs. RIP Uncle Dennis
Love Kimmie, Jim and Beth
