Dennis was a long time friend from high school. We became good friends in 10th grade and our 5 yr reunions kept that friendship special. Dennis was my Best Man at wedding and I will miss him dearly. My condolences to Vicki and Ryan and family for their loss of a husband and father.
Sending the Wong Family, Light and Love,
Chuck Correa

Dennis was a dear and close fraternity brother. I admired, respected and looked up to him since the very first day I joined the fraternity, and continued to do so in all the years since. Our brotherhood was stronger for his having been a part of it. His loss saddens me deeply, but the memory of what of Dennis and all of our other brothers had, and continue to have, will be with me forever. And in that respect Dennis will always be with us. My most heartfelt condolences to his dear wife, Vicki, his son Ryan, and Ryan's wife and child.

Sincerely,
Lee Williams

Dennis was a childhood friend. During our time in school together up to our 50th High School Reunion, Dennis always kept his friends close and frequently checked in on us. He was fun and compassionate man with a multitude of talents that matched his strong connections to so many friends. May he rest in peace and may his loved ones know that we are keeping them in our hearts and prayers. Please let us know if there is anything that we can do to help support you.
Sincerely,
Robert(Bob) Pence
