Dennis Austin O'Brien

I'm still trying to learn how to take Dennis advice-- "Not to hold the world on my shoulders." To me it simply boils down to oneness in Unity? I have been blessed with muchknowledge, I want people who know, all he really did was change his clothes. .I was shocked to learn of his crossing over..We are all born on this earth for a reason.

Dennis and I were friends and competitors, high school, college and 20 years of Masters swimming. Great guy. I miss him.

I wish the family well. I was A friend of the family. We are all people of infinite worth. Sincerely. Kurt Knifer

My condolences to the family. Dennis Obrien knew about me through his daughter Kelly. Who was an old high-school friend of mine from Durango. He at one time tried to give me advice about not carrying the world on my shoulders... I wish all living people I'm this family well. I believe Dennis was a good man. He has changed his clothes now, watching from a different dimension. Much respect.

Dennis was so generous with this time and story when I interviewed him for my book, The Aging Athlete. I. will always remember his beautiful swimming stroke when I saw him swim at the old Trimble. What a guy!

It sounds like Dennis had a fabulous life with so much love around him!! Thoughts and prayers are with you all!

I have found memories of Dennis from the mid 90's in Durango. His sense of humor and kindness will never be forgotten. Rest in peace.
