My thoughts and prayers go out to Jeannie, Dave, Bob, and Sue. I will always remember "Batko" as my jokester, snacker, best buddy, and my current world events informant. Thank you for trusting me to assist your brother everyday. On my worst days when I came to work, I always new that he would make it brighter. Tish, I am so grateful that I was able to form a bond with you, your family, and friends. I sure will miss the heck outta ya. Rest easy Tish

Dennis was our neighbor here on the Westside. A great guy who was always willing to help. He told us about a tough duty he had in Vietnam, keeping the officer's cooler full, among other duties. We discussed hockey a lot, and we were hopeful for the Wings to be successful again. Dennis was a great help with my golf game also, and had plenty of tales about Bay County. Yeah he clanged a couple off the oil well, too. He called Susie "Suz", and she laughed at that. You'll be missed, Dennis.
