We have many memories to cherish like the dance lessons for Kelli and Barry's wedding, playing dominoes, conversations about cameras and computers and so many more memories. We will miss Mr. Dennis so much !!

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. It was a privilege to share some time with Dennis on ham radio projects and community support activities through the Telephone Pioneers Amateur Radio Club of Alabama. We all learned from Dennis as he shared his knowledge of radio, computer technologies, and photography. His enthusiasm and sharp thinking were inspiring. Let us thank our Lord for allowing Dennis to be a part of our lives.

We will miss Dennis tremendously and send our condolences to his family. He was a very special classmate at Jones Valley and an even better friend. I'll always remember the fun times in the band, in classes and out of school.
