Not sure what to say?

I first met Dennis through my brother Berk and also Tyrone Brown. My fondest memory is when I gave birth to my twins (TaJuane and Tony). Dennis was led to believe their names were "Denise" and "Dennis", after him. My brother Berk jokingly called them "DeNiece" and "DeNephew".
One of the things that I admired most about Dennis was his strong work ethic and for sharing the drywall trade with others. He taught alot of strong black men a trade when no other opportunities were presented...

I send my deepest sympathy to the Smith family in your time of sorrow, Dennis, was like a uncle to Me also and will truly be missed.

To Mrs. Boffman and family:

May God give you comfort during this time of loss.
Love,

Dennis, you will be missed but you are in a much better Place.

To the family,
With deep sympathy in your loss. Dennis was my Uncle Richard's best friend and they enjoyed a special friendship that lasted through the years. He will be missed.
May God bless you.

Always the tough exterior, with a heart of gold buried beneath. Surrogate father to many, offering wisdom guidance, and a helping hand when needed, and a few choice words too.
Thats the Man I know as Pops.He would never come out and tell you he loved you, But you knew.
He made a big difference In my life and though his body Is no longer here , his spirit will never be lost or forgotten In any of us.
Much love to the man I first met as Mr Blann, and who later became Pops.

Farewell to a Blessed Spirit.

We've missed Dennis since he left Alexandria, Va to move back to Ohio but, he was always in our thoughts. May he rest in peace.

To the family,
Dennis was a really good guy. Along with our dad, Tyrone, Dennis taught us a lot about the dry wall business and gave us the opportunity to work with him on many occassions. He was a good friend and will be greatly missed.
