Not sure what to say?

2 years...sad. Our kindest to you

He was a kind, quiet man and he talked about ice skating but there was no mention of this sport in his obituary. He was our family eye doctor and I wish I had known more about him. We will miss him. I liked the part about no TV.

On behalf of the Michigan College of Optometry at Ferris State University, we send our condolences to the entire family. Dennis was a member of our MCO family and will be dearly missed.

So sad to hear, he was a kind hearted person. I'm sorry for your loss.

To all of Dennis's friends and family,

To the Pace family -
There are not enough superlatives in existence to describe Dennis and his influence on the entire Benzie County community.

We will miss him as a leader, as a role model and as a friend.

To all of Dennis's family and friends: Dennis was a remarkable, loving and caring man. I know he will be greatly missed by so many people he touched throughout AZ & MI. With prayers and strength for all, Debbie Seplow

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Pace,
