Dennis Charles Gipprich

Dennis was a wonderful person, kind, gentle and caring. He always had a smile when you walked in the door. He will be missed!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...

I'm so sorry for the loss of Dennis. He was my jeweler for about 13 years. I didn't trust any other jeweler but him with my small treasures. We also live down the street from the shop and if he was outside, he always had a smile and a big hello. He will be missed!

HE WALKS ON STREETS OF GOLD NOW

Dennis was a great person. He was always good for a quick laugh or just to make you smile. He was so proud of his "pride and joy" and showed them off whenever he could find a sucker to agree to look :)

He took such good care of my mom and kept her "in line", no matter how much she argued. I know he is going to continue to do so.

Dennis, you're a great man and I know we will all miss you. You spread your love to so many people and we can all be thankful that we got to know...

WELL DENNIS...DROVE BY YOUR SHOP THIS WEEKEND...STILL CAN'T BELIEVE YOU ARE NO LONGER HERE WITH US. I MISS YOU. SAW YOU EVERY WEEK...GETTING COFFEE OR FIXING MY JEWELRY. I LOOK AT MY GOLD AND PRECIOUS STONES AND SEE YOU ALL OVER...NOT A PIECE YOU HAVEN'T TOUCHED. YOUR MEMORY WILL LIVE ON...I WILL JUST MISS SEEING YOU AND TALKING WITH YOU.AND WHO WILL I GO TO NOW?

A very memorable event occurred on Saturday, Febuary 23, 2008. At approximately 10:30am, Saints Peter & Paul were at the gates of Heaven painstakenly checking in the new arrivals. All of a sudden there there was a great silence among the throngs. Saints Peter & Paul then noticed the subject that was causing this curiosity . When this new arrival approached Peter & Paul they hurridly checked their list to find him. Surely this was someone of great importance!! But before they could find his...

Many years ago, Tom Gross sent me to Denny to have some jewelry looked at. Mr. G told me to tell Denny that "Uncle Tom" sent me and Dennis took good care of me. He told me about the unusual stone in the ring and it's properties. I can almost see myself standing in his shop that day.

My heart goes out to all of his family and friends for your terrible loss. Take care & God Bless!

Already I miss "my jeweler". I had so much trust and faith in him. He was such a friendly, dependable and aim-to-please man. I just broke a bracelet and can't think of anyone I would want more to fix it. May he be happy in heaven. I will miss him.
