Dennis J. Wilson

Unfortunately, I am just seeing this now and I realize Mr. Wilson passed quite a while ago. He was an amazing teacher and had a passion for art that shared with students. I remember being the first one in my art class to learn how to juggle to earn five dollars and I did it. To this day, I share some of my old experiences with my children from his class. RIP Dennis the Menace/Mr. Wilson.!

Dear Joanne, You´ve been foremost in my thoughts since I learned about Denny´s passing earlier this week. Please accept my deepest sympathy to you and your family. I remember Denny so fondly from the six years we all shared in junior/senior high. He was such a standout, someone everyone wanted to have as a friend. He was talented, smart, friendly, and always wore the best grin and had the funniest banter. I wish I had known him as an adult (and you too), but I suspect he only shined...

Joann and family our sincere condolences regarding the passing of Dennis. Jerome has shared stories of Tech High School and having Dennis and you as classmates. We have been in Arizona and just found out about Dennis today (April 22). You are in our thoughts at this most difficult time.

Mr. Wilson is the only reason I even attempt to draw anything. He was a great art teacher and he really cared about his students. I remember drawing Beetle Bailey cartoons in middle school. When school let out for the summer, he sang, "Right here waiting for you" by Richard Marx into his brrom handle as he swept up our finite messes. RIP you were a great teacher. Paint us some pretty sunsets please!

Mr. Wilson, I will never forget you. You were the BEST teacher anyone could have. My nickname is still with me to this day that was given to me by you! Thank you for being such a wonderful person inside and out.

Dennis, I hope your Weeping Willow survived retirement. I will reflect back on those moments when we were together. Joann and Family, please accept our sincere condolences. Al and JoAnne Kampf
