Dennis and I were the best of friends, we were in grade school together high school together play baseball on the same team was on the track team together, when we graduated from high school we joined the Army together, went to basic training together went through AIT together, and went to Germany together. And then Dennis got sent to Vietnam. After we got out of the Army we kept in touch throughout the years, We were lifetime buddies. I loved him like a brother. Rest in peace buddy.

I am sorry for your loss. I rode the same school bus as the King siblings and think of them each time I go by the home place.

Dennis and I were on various teams at PCHS. He was a great friend and team mate. He loved the Pittsburg Pirates and Roberto Clemente. He also was a great fan of Wilt Chamberlain and tried to do some of his moves and shots on the floor. Sometimes they worked to the amazement of most people. He and I ran the mile but he was much better. I beat him once but he declared never again and he was right. I always looked forward to seeing him at class reunions. I am sorry for your loss.
