Not sure what to say?

Dennis´ grave marker is being provided by the VA and will be in place by the end of February.

I express my most sincere condolances to Dennis' family and friends. Selfishly, I am sorry to see him go home. Dennis was a wonderful, interesting man. He was such an incredibly gifted musician, and he was so humble about it. He helped a lot of people, and he was a respectful, kind soul. He was a model for us all. Happy Trails, Jerry R. Jirak

Dennis was a friend who was always willing to cheer me up. I enjoyed the stories he told of Navy life and playing for "The Dry and Dusty Jammers" band. I often saw him in his favorite coffee shops and at the American Legion's Post 19 in Yuma.

Played Bluegrass with Dennis during the 80's and 90s in Yuma. Good man...good musician...and great bandmate (Chocolate Mountain Boys).

Rest Peacfully in the arms of Jesus dearest brother. You are missed and our love for you hasn´t faded
