Rip I knew you all my life

Dennis became a good friend when he and Pat were in the Eagle Fleet RV club. Lots of camping together with my husband Paul and I, lots of meals, games, and card playing. More recently (8 years) we played Cribbage on Monday afternoons in Washington, MO. Dennis was very good at Cribbage and taught me a lot. I am thankful that I could be a part of his life! To Pat and all of the family, my sympathy and prayers and love!

I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Dennie when we were all so young . He was a good friend. God be with you.

Pat I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Take care of yourself. My thoughts and prayers to you and the family. Hope to see you soon.

Pat and family so sorry to hear of Denny's passing . He was always smiling and joking around. He was ahead of me in school but he always recognized me even after so many years. He will be missed.

My deepest sympathy. Dennie will be missed. He was always friendly & fun loving & I was proud to call him my uncle.

Denny touched so many lives in the very best way. I’m grateful I got the chance to know him through my mom's stories (Wanda Weeks, Minner, Schmid) and Facebook. He and his smile will be truly missed.

So very sorry to hear this . Prayers

So sorry for the loss of your loved one. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time
