My families deepest sympathy to the entire Replin family. I met Dennis only one time, in July, but my son David worked with him at the Parks Department and thought he was the greatest man he ever met! I had to meet him just once to thank him for being so encouraging to a young man right out of grad school and tackling his first full time job. Thank you Dennis, your smile said it all!!

I knew Dennis Replin during the late 80s when he was on Wally's World at Metrovision in Portage (now Comcast) I operated the cameras for the show, and I was just a teenager at the time. I remember him as a very nice man. My sympathies to the family during this difficult time.
