To the Dennis Family our prayers and heart felt sympathy at such a difficult time. Dick was a beacon of hope that made the path so bright for so many in their corporate work lives.

To the Dennis Family:
Our prayers are with you now. I am honored to have known and been coached by Dick. He continues to touch lives through his legacy. As we think about what he means to us, I would like to quote this inspirational message:
"With each moment, with each hour, as we honor and remember our loved one, may memories and love cradle our hearts with the gentle warmth of heaven's embrace."

To The Dennis Family

I am so sorry for the loss of your father. I only met Mr. Dennis once, but even that brief encounter demonstrated the love and respect that so many people had for him. Michael and Mark will carry on his legacy to pave a path for others and set an example that all can be proud of. Mr. Dennis was a difference maker and his spirit will always live on. My prayers and thoughts go out to the Dennis family.

Mrs. Dennis and Family - My prays are with you and your family.

Our condolences go out to the Dennis Family. Dick was a mentor, role model and pioneer while at Bell Labs and AT&T. I appreciated his candid way of being and his fight for the betterment of people of color. To Mike and the rest of the family, I will miss your dad. He was a positive role model and icon for us all. God bless!

To my mentor and friend.
I will never forget,how you brought me into the Able family and AT&T
I will truly miss you.

To the Dennis Family:

May God continue to bless you all in your time of grief and beyond as he lifts your spirits as much as Dick lifted ours. AT&T, Lucent & many other spin-offs will reap greatly in the area of diversity as a result of Dick's pioneering efforts along with others who did so much for our community within the Bell system. The legacy they built will endure.

Again, God Bless You All.
