I'm so sorry for your loss. I worked with Dennis for the last 3 and a half years at Powers. He always had a smart remark that would make me laugh. I also liked to listen to the many stories he would tell. I will truly miss him. I will keep you in my prayers for this hard time.

I was lost for words to hear of Dennis passing. I enjoyed every day that I worked with Dennis at Powers. It was an honor to know such a wonderful man. Dennis always had a kind word to say and was never negative. I know he loved Blonde jokes and I use to Email everyone that I received and would always say "Just for you, Dennis". I am so sorry that we never took the time to have lunch at The Penguin. We aren't promised tomorrow and we should take advantage of every day.
My heart and prayers are with the family and friends during this sad time.
Dennis will be sadly missed by all that were fortunate to know and to love him.

To Dennis' family: I truly don't have the words to describe the sadness I felt when I heard of Dennis' passing. I worked with him for several years at Powers, and he was one of the nicest men I have ever had the pleasure of getting to know. He made you smile EVERY DAY, even if you didn't want to. You could hear his laughter throughout the building. He was a true gentleman, and I will miss him dearly. You are in my prayers.
