I met Dennis when I started working for YSDI in 1980. We became friends and many of us and our spouses would get together often all those years ago. Judy I am sorry for your loss. Dennis was a great guy.

I have many memories of Dennis and Judy as their daughter Vicki is my best friend. Many weekends at the old Rico´s Pizza watching them dance and having a fun time with many friends or going to Biggs for the street parties. Dennis was always a positive man as he would tell us girls to always be safe when we would go out cruising in Marysville. Best of all, HE LOVED THE 49ERS which meant so many fun football parties at their house. He was a family man and always had a good time at family gatherings especially his granddaughters birthdays and graduations. He was soo proud of the them. Dennis and his smile will be missed. Thoughts and Prayers for the whole family. Love, The Mooney Family Greg, Jacque Allie and Brice

Dennis and I spent a lot of time together in our Senior year at Gridley High. We were great friends and night owls together during our senior year at Gridley High. It was lots of fun swimming with a great group of friends at Dennis' pool, with many shared laughs and teen angst. He had a full life with many friends and a wonderful life partner, Judy.

We first made Dennis when we joined the Yuba Buttes RV Club. We immediately hit it off and took many road trips together. Even after we moved we got together often. Dennis was a great friend and we will always miss him.
