Dennis R. Hyde

Dennis and I did a couple fine musicals together. He was a great soul and wonderful musical director who made conducting a pleasure. The world lost a great person and some fine music.

Dennis gave my son lessons on the double bass. He was a kind and funny man. May he rest in peace.

Sad to Read about Dennis passing away. I only knew Him briefly and always as Tom´s Older brother on Stuart Ave. He was a gentle soul. My sincere Condolences to Tom,Sandy and Family. Jim McGuinness

Thanks for the many years of wonderful memories dear friend. May God bless and keep you by his side in all your new adventures. David Rowe

Dennis will always be the ultimate photographer capturing so many many precious moments. He had a technique of superimposing images into existing photos. He has most of his history and international travels through his "slides". He loved watching golf and basketball and loved crosswords and marching in the band. He is an Incredible patient and kind person who loved get-togethers, performances and the stage

Westport Community Band and Nash will never be the same without Dennis. Trips to Lake George, birthday parties and holiday parties were always lots of fun. I'll look for some photos

We will dearly miss Dennis, our colleague, our children´s teacher and friend. We will always remember family gatherings where we would get out our instruments and play. Dennis got us to join the Westport Community Band - which we still play in. He was such a kind and giving person and an excellent musician. May he rest in peace.

Dennis was always ready with a quick one-liner. He got me into Nash Drum Corps when I was in high school and for that I will be eternally grateful.

Dennis was a good friend for many years. We had a lot of fun together in the Nash Band. I particularity remember his parents who would join us on the bus trips and would love to join us in song. This of course included a lot of laughter. I will always remember his smile and gracious attitude. Peace brother!
