I went to grammar school with Dennis. He would often buy me a candy bar from Wyteck's store on the way home from school. I remember going over to his house to see his baby chicks right after they hatched. I have very fond memories of him.

Deepest sympathy to the Riel Family. I attended grammar school at St. Aloysius Catholic Grammar School, Worcester St. Indian Orchard. I believe Dennis along with a few others including myself were photographed in the 8th grade class photo. We occupied the top row in the photo because of our height as young eighth grade grads. Rest in Peace Dennis.

I was saddened to read of the passing of Dennis. I always enjoyed (and looked forward to) having conversations with him at the Vine. His humor and insight was a high point. My deepest condolences go out to Linda and their family. Charlie R.

Rest in Peace, Dennis.

Ah, Dennis......a well lived life ended too soon. Sincere condolences to Linnie, Hilary, Nicole and Christopher, and to the whole Riel family
