I was stunned and saddened to hear about Dennis.I will treasure my memories- both from 1977 at Umass,and the wonderful hours with the Thursday night painters in class at Paragon.In our many discussions on art and life his knowledge and compassion radiated. What a loss for our community and the Valley.

Martin, Gigi and I send you our best wishes, Paula. Dennis was such a presence in our lives--warm, friendly, intellectual, artistic, empathetic, sweet,....Our lovely home is a constant reminder of his friendship. His personally designed lawn signs with the carefully chosen font and shade of green always make us smile. So like Dennis to consider every detail. He is already so missed.

Dennis was truly a paragon, and his smile lit up a room. I loved his sense of humor and how much he cared for his friends and clients. He helped my parents through a difficult time giving up the family home, and found them the perfect spot. My mother adored him, and looked forward to his annual Christmas cards and occasional visits. So, so sorry for his family.
