I played for Coach Greg at Bosco in the early 90s. He was a true Ironman, pushing us to be our best on and off the court. I have thought of him often since and was saddened to hear of this news. If any of his former players could ever be helpful to his family during this sad time we would be glad do our part. Nothing compared to all he did for us. St. John Bosco pray for us.

I have known Dennis since his days as a coach at Rutgers. He made my team and myself welcome in many different places of basketball. He will be tremendously missed by my players of the past present and future and myself.

Dennis was a great guy who jack and dylan played for, brian coached with at the round ballers. Favorite memory was Dennis seeing the boys in 2010 working out on playground in Sea Girt and stopping by for a hour to coach. True great guy and nj hoops legend. My condolences to his family. Brian Kerwin
