I had a lot of fun with Dennis in High School and a couple years after. He was a super nice guy with a funny sense of humor. I remember going to his Father's funeral and it struck me how devoted Dennis was to his religeon. I know you are in a good place up there, Dennis. May you rest in peace.

I remember riding motorcycles with Dennis behind his house as a youngster. Dennis was a kind person. Dennis will be missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Dennis was a good friend in Jr. High and High School. He was such a positive person and I will never forget his kindness and smile. Debi Claus (Spanaway WA)

Being Japanese, my stature is petite which is typical for our age, so I was surprised Dennis was so tall. When we were in 6th Grade at Elk Plain, the office asked Dennis and I to make posters to display in the gymnasium for a family event. We spent a couple hours sketching and coloring various characters to post on the wall. Even at that young age he had patience, was considerate, and showed an unselfish desire to help others. Everyone liked him; he was fun, kind-hearted, humble, thoughtful and great company. The world is a better place because he was here. My heart goes out to his family and other friends who feel this loss. Rest In Peace Dennis.
