Dennis Lange

My deepest sympathies to all Dennis' family and friends! I'm still in shock!
He was my best pal and confidante since he moved in next door to me on Scottwood. Always a joy to be with and made me laugh really hard at times...he will be greatly missed!!
Im grateful for so many many memories!
I loved him dearly!!

Dennis was an honest, hardworking fellow whom I enjoyed meeting and he will be missed by his neighborhood and this community.

Our paths first crossed in 2000 when the BOE-(R) needed poll workers for that election. I know I'm not the only one who received a Dennis inspirational pep talk! So...I received my training at the Rec Center and the BOE that ended just hours before that Election Tuesday in 2000. I wound up being the Presiding judge at a suburban precinct, an unforgettable experience I'll always treasure and be proud and grateful for! Dennis was a class act- a positive force of nature. He saw the good in...

I will always miss his enthusiasm and endless patience training election workers at the Lucas County Board of Elections. He trained as he lived, with grace, great cheer and purpose. Those classes won’t ever be quite the same.

After retiring from being a School Secretary, I worked about two years, two days a week for Dennis at the Pumpernickel. Dennis was always great to work for. He treated his employee's and customers with his congenial smile. He always cared for his employee's. He truly loved the Old West End.

In what-ever Dennis did, in any role he filled, he was a force of energy and activity. I was a witness to this and I am truly filled with sorrow on his passing. There is a vacuum to be filled by what he left behind, and sadly it will take more than one person to fill it. Thank you Dennis for being that example to us all!

Dennis, we had so many memories together. Skip and I fondly remember the day we went to Pumpernickels to plan our rehearsal dinner and the resturarant was busy. There was not an empty table and hungry customers were waiting. We both grabbed aprons, washed our hands, Skip worked with Stan on the grill, I served food and cleared tables because that's what friends do. Throughout your life, you always did the same for others. May the angels lift you up. You will remain in our hearts. Love...

I'll never forget Dennis as he gave me a job during the election and afterwards behind the scenes when I desperately needed a job. He was so kind and I loved knowing him. I was very saddened to learn of his passing. He will be greatly missed by many.

It’s hard to believe Dennis is gone. He was full of life, easy to get to know and passionate about everything he did. He was a great employee and trainer for the Board of Elections, and he will be missed. My sincerest condolences to his family and many friends.
