My dad taught my son how to play chess, when he was little, and now as an adult, he's an avid player.
He loved his 6 kids and all his grands and great-grands. Loved talking politics, loved a good party with food and diverse group of people and cultures. Loved hometown Chicago and was in his element there surrounded by culture and food from all over the world.
We miss him!

Dennis was my next door neighbor in 1988-89. We had many interesting conversations and he also had a great sense of humor. He will be missed by those who had the pleasure of his friendship.
