Jesus, I was in a "I wonder what ever happened to my old friends" mood and Googled Dennis, and discovered he died seven years ago. What a gut-punch.

I met Dennis when I was 17 years old and got a job at King Motor Service in Davenport. He was five years older than me, but we became fast friends, and I looked up to him. I rode to Las Vegas with him when he moved there with just his pickup truck, his toolbox, and a dream. He was going to send for Jacki and Angie after he got settled.

I saw him a couple of times since then, but haven't had contact with him in many years.

I know it's been a long time Jacki, and you probably don't remember me, but my deepest condolences. And Angie, I know you don't remember me - you were just a toddler - but your dad was one of the sweetest souls I've ever known.

Dennis. I never had a chance to catch up with you. The last time I seen you was after I found you in the phone book. You were my best friend and I never had a chance to tell you. I am sorry it took so long to leave a note but I just came across his passing today.
