Not sure what to say?

Dear Rosemary and family - I have lots of good memories of Dennis while helping him around the farm so many years ago. Just the way he carried himself was a strong witness to me as a young man. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

My wife, Suzanne, and I had just become members at Central Presbyterian Church in December 2017 when I was invited to join the membership of the Central Toole Gang. Dennis was a charter member of this men’s devotional group that has now met weekly on Monday mornings since the Spring of 1991. We each took turns leading a Monday devotional. I loved the fellowship and being witness to the growth of the fruit of the Spirit being produced organically in us. I loved Dennis’ devotional...

Dennis' gift of encouragement will be missed by many! He and Rosemary shared the gift of hospitality to many and their home was always open to friends, family, and the lonely. I personally appreciated Dennis' devotion to Christian Education and the Boards upon which we served. Blessings to all he loved so well. Eva & Bob Mark

I met Dennis shortly before I moved to St. Louis in 1989. He was instrumental in helping me land my first job in St. Louis (at Alvey where he worked) and was a solid guy, strong Christian. We need more like him.

Dear Wiggers Family, I am saddened to learn of Dennis passing. I had only known Dennis through work related experiences, as I too worked for the former Alvey company and had been on several business trips with Dennis. He was dedicated to his profession and always committed to helping colleagues grow in their careers. Whenever after hours dinner conversations turned to discussing family, he beamed with pride talking about his family. I pray the many fond memories you shared will bring a...

Dear Rosemary, and family,
So many memories — of the very good to the more difficult: from being in the Jamestown choir to the loss of the hand; from fun times at the beach to watching the one handed house builder; from early dating to helping with your wedding; from driving a tractor to taking our Stephen in the VW bug; from celebrating births to watching our children grow; from Rapistan engineering to deciding to move to Missouri; from loving near to loving from a distance; from...

My brothers 4 years older than I am. Raised by Christian parents. Grew up together, slept in the same room together. Plenty of good memories. Over the 4th, my wife , our children, and grandchildren celebrated my 80th. I often told Dennis, keep living, lead the way for me. And well he did. Now I look forward to traveling to St. Louis and celebrate his life of Christian living and love for others. celebrate everyday the Lord gives us. Bruce

Dear Rosemary, Aimee, Meredith, Rebekah, and Rachael. I was sad to receive the news about Dennis’ passing. I have such fond memories of getting to know and serving with Dennis 40 years ago when he served as the treasurer of the Westminster board. I was blessed by his passion for Christian education, personal support, and friendship. It was always a joy to connect with him at many Westminster events through the years. The Wiggers family richly blessed our family in so many ways. Please know...

Rosemary and family, You have our condolences. Dennis was a great person and we had wonderful times together. We will be praying for you all. Sending you our hugs, love and prayers.
