Not sure what to say?

If I want, I can close my eyes and see Dennis, hear his laughter as he drove me along the streets of Seattle in February showing me the sights of Seattle, the
Sound, the mountains, the road to nowhere...

I was so happy to be with Dennis, my brother-in-law, my friend. He is gone but his memory will always live on as will the happiness he brought to others.

We will miss you, Dennis Foster Cole.
Thank you for being who you were.

Such a loving and caring Soul....heart to you always.

I met Dennis and Carol Lynn on a Qi Gong study trip to China some 10 years ago. I very much enjoyed their company as they had what I thought was a richly considered perspective on our mutual experience - with much wit and good cheer. I was all the more amazed at Dennis's bright and lively spirit when I learned that he carried within him the heart of another person. I am sorry that he has gone. My best wishes to Carol Lynn.

Dennis and CL at home, 2014

Dennis was such a love-filled person! Klaus and I are honored to have been counted among his and Carol Lynn's friends. As neighbors we were able to see each other often, and to share in community work; he was always a "go the extra mile" participant in everything, sharing his skills and insight generously. We miss him terribly, and hold Carol Lynn very dear.

Dennis had many gifts - a big smile, a gentle soul, and an encouraging word for all. It was an honor to know him and call him, friend.

May time heal your heart and memories give you comfort.

The light that Dennis gave to all who knew him will shine on forever.

Dennis came into my life when he married Carol Lynn, whom I became friends with more than 20 years ago in L.A. When I learned that Dennis didn't have much time left in his body, I visited with him and Carol Lynn last fall. Having not seen him in 8 years, it was wonderful having that special time with him.

Dennis was my hero. He was always there when I needed guidance and an injection of his wonderful laugh. He will always be my hero in my heart.
