Dennis C. Shively

Dennis called on me, for Purity Wholesale, for many years and we developed a great friendship during those years. His honesty and integrity was greatly appreciated and I looked forward to the discussions that we had on the phone weekly. I talked to Dennis many times during his illness and found him to be upbeat and very positive about the future. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Dennis was a very special friend to me during our years together at Purity Wholesale. I will never forget the "Boca Deer Hunt" we took together with two other friends. Dennis always conducted his business at Purity with integrity and honesty, a rare combination in the industry. Dennis, thanks for being a great friend.

Dennis was the most kind hearted,thoughtful person I knew. I know Dennis always lived life the way he wanted to and put 150% into his work as well. I, myself have been encouraged by Dennis to try to live life to the fullest and make the best of every day. Everyone I know loved him, and respected his individuality,friendship, hard work and caring for others.... I miss him and he will always be in my memory.

It's been a true priviledge to be a friend of Dennis for the last 25 years. I will always remember his sense of humor. Even after becoming ill, he always kept a positive attitude and held strong to the end. Tammy, even though we've never met, he couldn't have been more proud of you.

I'm thankful to have the opportunity to say good-bye to him on Saturday.

Ernie and Wanda, you are special people and our prayers continue to be with you.

May God give you...

I worked with Dennis over the last 10 years and always found him to be honest and above board in his business dealings. I enjoyed his stories about the motor home and motorcyle rides and how his dog would stay with him wherever he went. Dennis will be missed.

I worked with Dennis for about 20 years at Purity. We went through a lot together. Dennis lived life to the fullest and liked to have a good time. I will never forget the time he bought a water cannon and came in the office and "soaked" his best friends ! Dennis had a good heart - I was always impressed with the generous donations he made to the local Food Bank Charity as will as others. Dennis also loved his Family and returned to his roots to help his Mother and Father as much as he...

I'm going to miss hearing his voice. Dennis was a very dear friend and it was an honor to have been so close to him for the last several years. He fought the battle bravely and with dignity. Ernie, Wanda...he was lucky to have you and he knew it.

I only met Dennis a couple of times when my neice and her husband were buying his home on the lake. He was very patient with us and helpful, answering all of our questions.I was aware of his health issues and was impressed with how he kept his spirit up and refused to stop "living", doing the things he enjoyed. My heart and prayers go out to all of you, his family.

Tammy,I went to school with you in 85-86. Sorry to hear about your loss. Just know that you and the rest of the family now have an Angel watching over you at all times. You may contact me if you wish
