On behalf of myself and all of the members of Local 247, of the American Federation of Musicians, I would like to offer our deepest condolences and sympathy for your loss. It was with shock and dismay that we learned of Denis' sudden untimely passing. Denis was a marvelously talented and multi-faceted muscian and a true gentlemen. Victoria's musical community is diminished greatly by his absence. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
