So sorry to hear about Denny’s passing. Always hung around with him at St Mike’s. Great sense of humor and just a good guy. Haven’t seen him in years but always remember our times in school.

So sorry to hear this news. I remember Dennis from my days as a cashier at McCaffrey's Supermarket. I was 16 at the time (over 20 years ago) and will never forget his friendly demeanor & smiling face. I always loved having him come down my line, because I knew I could count on him to brighten the day! What a lovely man, the kind of person that stays in your memory forever. Sending love to his dear family, I hope you can find peace and strength knowing and hearing all the wonderful stories, even from complete strangers who's life he touched for so many years! :)

Dear Nancy and family, When someone like Dennis passes a part of us here dies with him and what remains are our memories. Mine are the days at Egan. We played Basketball at Disney in Pinewood until we couldn't walk anymore. Oh those summer days past like the wind and Dennis married ,became a wonderful husband and father. More recently was a fantastic Italian meal at Gene's place discussing our roots and our current lives. I know Dennis enjoyed it so much . He wanted to get together again but but sickness got in the way.
God Bless you all. My best to Mary and Nickie
