Thinking of you always. I dont know why you are always in my dreams at night. I do know you were taken way too soon and you are missed by many. Those of us that were blessed to know you will always miss and love you. Its still so hard for me knowing i wasnt there to say goodbye and tell you what you meant to me. I hope one day we will cross again. RIP my friend.

Denny, you should see the sad emails going back and forth among the boys. Henry and Al got in touch with everybody. You're the first Founding Member to go, and it's much too soon. There are a lot of lovely thoughts posted on this site but I'm looking at your face and thinking of the kid I knew and I just want to post angry things, frankly. It's much too soon.

My heart goes out to the family of Dennis Greene. I knew Dennis a quiet man of faith as the Pastor of Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Dayton OH. Dennis was a quiet member of the faithful there who I saw regularly there at Sunday Mass. He was a very quiet and gentle man. I know that he will be missed there and the the University of Dayton where he passionately taught law. May God bless a good and faithful servant.

I remember meeting Dennis on the street in NY years ago. I was like "Hey! You're the SHA NA NA GUY!" He just laughed and said that's right! He gave me a hug & that beautiful smile will always be with me! I was so excited to meet a celebirty on the streets of NY! Thanks for that hug Dennis. Sleep In Paradise with a song for the Master...

To The Greene Family,
Dennie as I can recall was such a powerful entertainer; he will never be forgotten by those Sha Na Na fans like myself. To hear that he continued in life to follow his passion of law is so inspirational to others who doubt they can pursue their dreams! I know Heaven has opened the pearly gates to welcome you graciously! RIP Dennie

Dear Greene Family,
I'm so sorry for the loss of Dennis. He was an awesome singer and dancer. Sha na na was one of my favorite bands and shows I used to watch and I loved the their music. I used to call Dennis, Johnny and Santini The Golden Boys, because of their golden suits they wear. He will be missed, but his memory will live on. I will keep your family in my prayers. May he comfort you and guide you and watch over you.

A fine singer and extremely nice guy. I met him while working as a Supervisor for USAirways in Dayton when he was flying to New York on a regular basis. We became friends and talked about music every time he traveled. I will miss him and his great stories about Sha-Na-Na.

Dennis Greene, or "Denny," as he was nicknamed had a nice voice and was one of the best members in the band, my favorite band,
Sha Na Na. I loved his renditions of "On the Boardwalk," "Save the Last Dance for Me," "Tears on my Pillow," "Chain Gang," and many others. May God Bless you, Denny.
