Dennis Matthew O'Connell

Dennis you were my friend for life ,even though you kept me on hold in a phone booth
for 20 minutes in 95 degree heat...Oh!! those early years at Coors Tustin...

Dennis, Dennis, Dennis. You were a really good friend to so many of us, and truly will be missed. We had some great times throughout all of the years in good old Buena Park. Several of my friends felt you were a civilian employee because they saw you riding with Larry all those years. You were such a giving person, and well liked by all that had the pleasure to know you. I’m sorry I was out of town for your celebration of life, but know I was there in spirit, and you will always be in my...

I remember working the graveyard shift in the late 70's and always having a welcome place to go at Rome Inn. Dennis always had fun with me when the "old salts" made the rookie pick up the beer for the after shift card games.I remember Dennis as always being a wonderful friend to us all at BPPD. He would do anything for any of us and we felt the same way about him. God bless Dennis, his family and friends at this time. It is only temporary as we will see him again.

Dennis, A hush fell across the Friday morning group when Dan told us you had passed away. You were always such a nice guy with a great sense of humor. You'll be missed, especially Friday mornings, but we'll keep a seat for you.

I wish i could have talked to you again. I did call you several times after we all left coors. may you rest in peace.

Dennis, I haven't seen you in many years but I always asked John K. about you. I wish we could have had the time to get together. I was so shocked to hear of your passing. You were the best dispatcher at Coors I ever had. May you rest in peace.

You will indeed be missed Dennis. I remember the days at Rome-Inn Liquor. In fact I still have a "Miller"s Beer" sign you gave me which now hangs in my garage. It was a pleasure and privilege having known you. God bless you my friend...

Dennis

You were a good man and I was truly saddened to hear about your passing. You have been like a member of the Buena Park Police family to me. We go back many years. I will never forget the laughs and great times we had together when you were working at Rome-In liquor. Those were the days.... Dennis, you will always be in our thoughts and prayers. God bless you!
