Still often think of Dennis and recall the many good times that we shared at Thomas Dale.

I was so saddened to hear this news, but I know he is in such a beautiful and wonderful place now that we cannot even imagine. Herr B was my favorite teacher throughout all of high school. I loved German class and will never forget him. He was a model teacher that I feel fortunate to have had. God be with you all.

To Caroline, Ridley, and Stef(as he always called you, I can't believe Dennis is gone. I hope to a wonderful place where everyone rides bikes, eats what they want and toasts with beer..german beer..a place where they know the oldies and can dance to them. Dennis you taught me tolerance, new ideas, peace and hope for a better future. I ate lunch with you so often that we just took each other for granit..i won't do that again. You were one of the "girls", along with Craig and you helped us see...

Dear Caroline, Ridley and Stef,
My deepest sympathy, love and prayers go out to you at this sad and difficult time. I loved Dennis as a colleague and friend. In the many years we worked together at TD we had many laughs and good times. He was always so supportive. He was a devoted husband and a proud Dad. He will be missed for a long, long time.
Love and prayers,

To the Beierschmitt family, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Herr B. was my teacher for 3 years. More importantly, he was a dear friend and mentor. I can't stress how much of an influence he has had on my high school and subsequent education. I can't believe he's gone. He will ALWAYS be in my heart.
Sincerely yours,
Mike
