Dennis was not only my manager, he was my friend. I will never forget his ability to see both sides of a situation. I know I would not have been able to do my job in peace and in a risk-free environment if not for Dennis. Rest In Peace, my friend, you are missed by all of us in California.

From 11th grade through College Dennis was my closest friend, my protector from being bullied on the school bus, the guy who taught me how to drive on the now-gone back roads of Bucks County, Pennsylvania. United against a world that was just beginning to change. United in cynicism and humor, united by our love of classical musick. May he rest in peace.

Words cannot adequately express the impact Dennis had on my life as my boss, and later as my friend. I will miss him and will always treasure the memories I have of our intersection in this life at ACF.
