I was privileged to work with "Den" at WAFL from 1981 to 1984. I just learned today that he's gone. He was a great friend, and a passionate believer in Delaware, it's people, and history. His country music trivia book was a classic! I learned a lot from Den (although he never could convince me that "scrapple" was good to eat) and will miss him greatly. My sincere condolences to his family; I'm sorry I only learned of this at so late a date.

I worked with Dennis for 11 years at the fair.
I learned so much about the fair industry from Dennis.
He had a great sense of humor and was able to lighten the mood during stressful days. He loved the fair and we loved him.
Rest in peace Dennis

I am so very sorry that I was unable to be at the service for Dennis. I have a great deal of respect for all that he did for the agricultural industry as well as the entertainment industry via the Delaware State Fair. He was a good man in a crazy business and although he will be missed, his legacy will live on for many many years.

I will always be grateful to Dennis for offering me my first paying radio job when I was just a high school senior. I drove from Newark to Milford to do each Saturday evening shift. The pay barely covered my gas money, but it was dream come true & I enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you Dennis!

You were our "radio connection" for so many years. So sorry you passed away way too soon. Many condolences to your family from us. Linda Bennett White and Tom White

Dennis and I had lunch together in 2014 in Milford on one of my many visits up from Florida.

You were my boss at WAFL for 7 years but we became friends after I left in 1980. Your passion for radio was felt by many, especially me. Was looking forward to seeing you on my vacation this week, but someone else had bigger plans. Dennis, you will be missed by so many people. R.I.P. my friend.
