Not sure what to say?

Was just thinking about Dennis as I ran across this photo, Dennis and I used to get up and play at Chinese Playground early on Sat mornings he was my doubles partner and in the photo we won a tournament together. He was such a great guy to be around and glad he remained that person all his life.

I found out about Dennis's passing this afternoon at Walgreens.

He was a wonderful man who was always ready to answer questions. He took the time to provide important information about different medicines.

Quite often I relied on him to make decisions and always listened to his advice.

I offer condolences.

May his memory be a Blessing.

To the family of Dennis Ja, I will miss Dennis' smile as a Friend at Wallgreens Pharmacy. Dennis would greet me no matter how busy he was filling scripts and have mine ready without requiring me to give my information. What a fine guy and a very fine casual Friend!!!! I will miss Dennis! Rest in Peace, my Friend! Ron De Angelo, Danville,CA [email protected]



July 5th:

I just found out today about Dennis while at San Ramon Olympic pool. I have to say that I am still in shock and can't believe this has happened. For the past 15 years or so I have seen Dennis at the pool once or twice a week for lap swimming. Always promptly at 11 am, and always with a big smile to see his many pool friends. He was a joy to know and was always interested in what everyone was doing, but when asked about his news; it was always about family, but...

My thoughts and prayers go out to Dennis's family. I was saddened to hear this. I worked as a pharmacy tec with him years ago at Longs in Oakland. We had a good time there and Dennis was such a nice sweet person. I'm sure he will be missed!

I only found out about Dennis' passing yesterday when I went to pick up my meds and saw a small memorial with Dennis' picture in the pharmacy area. Dennis, who is a little younger than I am, and I used to talk about retirement being right around the corner for the both of us. I met him several years back when I switched pharmacies from Longs/CVS to Walgreens after becoming disillusioned with CVS personal attention to the customer. Dennis was exactly the opposite, always striking up a...

Dear Ja family

I was saddened today upon learning the news of your loved one, Dennis' passing. Although I was not a personal friend, each time I interacted with Dennis at Walgreen's he made it personal. I looked forward to seeing him, each and every time I went to pickup a prescription and was always disappointed if he wasn't there to say hi. My sincere prayers are with you at this time of grief. Dennis will always be fondly remembered in my heart.

I was so shocked and saddened to hear about Dennis. He was so friendly and he did a wonderful job at Walgreens. I will truly miss him.
