To the Ho family and friends, please accept my sincere condolences for the passing of Dennis. The last time I saw him we were cruising and it was wonderful running into him and Susan. I will always have fond memories of working with him as we supported our kids Dion and Akim when they were at Dover High School. Rest In Peace Dennis.
