Dennis Herrick

Bea, I just learned about Dennis. I am so sad. What a kind, amazing person he was. And so talented. All my students really enjoyed reading their ancestry come to life. If you need an escape from Albuquerque, come stay with us in Taos. Love, Kathleen Phelan

Dennis and I were classmates at Marquette University although we never had a conversation. We met again at The Flint Journal where we both worked. Our friendship blossomed from there. My wife Mary and I shared many happy experiences with Ol' Den, as he sometimes referred to himself, and Bea, he devoted wife. Among the most cherished memories are attending Marquette basketball games and housboatingon the Mississippi River. For several years with played chess via the Internet. Dennis was indeed...

I am so sorry to learn of Dennis's death. My condolences to the family. I know he was increasingly frail in recent weeks. We would occasionally chat at St. Michael's.

Dennis was a wonderful man and friend. I enjoyed working with Dennis at the Maxwell Museum in Albuquerque. He was so knowledgeable on the history of the area and his Sci-Fi stories were great reads. I will miss him!

Dennis was one of the most interesting people I have ever known. He accomplished so much during his life, and he taught me a great deal. I will always remember him and am grateful he was part of my life.

I had the pleasure of taking a classes from Dennis at UNM he was an a great professor! His life experiences added so much and he was a great writer. Sending comforting thoughts and prayers to his family and friends. Heidi
