Read MoreMy husband played football with Dennis at OSU. He was a good friend of ours and helped us with our move back to California after college. We just attended a 50th year team reunion at OSU and his name was bought up with fond memories. We were sorry to lose touch with him over the years but will always remember the crazy, fun times we had with him in our youth. We're sorry for your loss. Bruce and Patty Woodruff

The Pirate family has lost a great athlete from great a athletic family! Dennis much more than that! I recall Dennis escorting his mother, Ruth to a Ventura college womens basketball game! It spoke volumes about about this mans kindness and loyalty! Godspeed, you will be missed!
