Michael Dennis Saleebey

Dennis was the best. Such a wonderful person that was forgiving, gentle and kind. What a privilege to have been a student in one of his classes.

My condolences from the Callicutt family. I just saw this and was deeply saddened by it.

I have just noticed the sad news about the inspiring Mr D Saleebey and wanted to pay my respect to his family, friends and colleagues.

I would like to give thanks to a gentleman and team of individuals who took the time to develop and document such a vital and life-changing approach (in not only Social Work practice but in life and careers in general).

I was privileged to discover this incredible approach and the writings of this inspiring gentleman when I attended...

Dr. Saleebey was my first exposure to social work at U. Maine. I was so shy and uncertain and he gave me such good & useful advice and we kept in touch abit thru my MSW and following jobs in the field. I feel such sadness at his passing--loved him and his support got me where I am. Margaret Talbot, Oakland CA

Oh Denis! ... How you will be Missed! Madeleine & I got to see your Kids grow up with ours & WE ALL had the pleasure of knowing you. Never forget crawling through MUD & fixing the water pipes under your house at 3AM in the morning. YEP ... Your Laughing Now! ... Love from Kilimanjaro ... Bob

Good-bye, Mitch. We'll miss you. Thanks for leaving us a quartet of great kids.

Dear Jennifer, John, David & Meghan,
I was so sad to read about your dad's passing in the Star Telegram this morning. Although we had not been in touch the last few years, we will always remember Dennis as a good friend whose advice and wisdom never failed to bring compassion and clarity to every situation. In remembrance of a life well lived... God bless you all.
