Dennis was a good buddy of mine, and will be missed. He taught me to look at the lighter side of things and laugh about it instead of worry. He said "life is to short so have fun while your here". Cheers!

Dennis (Den Den) was a good guy. I worked with him for a number of years at Valley Cadillac and have many fond memories of him. He could always make me laugh and never forgot to call at Christmas. He was like part of the family. I will never forget him or his addiction to crossword puzzles.
