Not sure what to say?

To Vickie and family, I just recently heard of Dennis passing last summer. I have great memories of all the time we spent together at Boeing and all the basketball players and teams we used to talk about. Sue and I send our deepest sympathy.

I had the honor of working with Dennis over many of his 37 years at Boeing. He set his expectations high and held you to them. He taught me to work hard but to not give so much to the company that I lose sight of what was important to me. He always reminded me to stay humble and I will never forget him. He's a part of some of my favorite Boeing stories. He was a tough yet amazing man. He will be missed.

My sympathies to Dennis’s family and to all his friends.
I met and worked with Dennis at Boeing.
At work Dennis looked for the best in people and helped them perform as best they could. In more than 20 years of meetings and projects, Dennis was often served as the voice of reason for a multitude of organizations.
I am grateful for having known Dennis.

So incredibly sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure to work with Dennis at Boeing. He was a great guy.
