Sylvia and Family:

It was an extreme pleasure to be in the presence of this great man! Coach Dennis was one of the most inspirational men that I have been associated with. We were fortunate to have Tony and many other great coaches at Kuna High School for several years. It truly was a pleasure to be taught and coached by him. My best regards and condolences to Sylvia and family.

Tony was a truly outstanding person. It was amazing how quickly he rose through the ranks of his profession. His FB talent would have enabled him to play in the NFL had he wanted. I attended school under his dad as a Supt. as well as worked for him later. I had teams compete against Tony as a player as well as a coach and older brother Larry as a coach. I also coached his younger brother Dan. I must add his mother was truly an angel.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Dennis family. Tony made a difference in the lives of generations of young people, and the foundation he established for high-quality professional-technical training will serve students well for many years to come.

I am truly saddened by the news of Dr. Dennis' passing. My heart and prayers are with his family during this time. I have very fond memories of Dr. Dennis. He was a great man, with great vision for doing what was right for Boise's school children. He truly was dedicated to excellence in education and seeing that each child had an opportunity to succeed. He supported teachers and felt there was no more noble profession than that of a teacher. He cared deeply for our community's school...

His presence filled the room, his booming laughter filled my heart, and his loving and thoughtful words filled my soul. Continue your sojourn, Tony. Anna Nipper.

We were so sorry to hear of Tony's passing, however we know that he is in a better place with his Lord and Savior, and free from his physical ailments that he had to endure. Tony was very fortunate to have a loving and caring wife and companion through the good time and the tough times. You will be in our thoughts and prayers Sylvia and family.

Condolences, thoughts and prayers to Tony's family.

I first met Tony as the new Superintendent of Boise Schools. He listened, was kind, and understanding. I have met many leaders of organizations, but Tony ranked at the top. He is one of those people that you need to take something from and put it into your life.
