Dear Lorraine and friends of Dennis,

I knew Dennis in high school. His yellow convertible and motorcycle were flashy, but the driver was a handsome, caring, calm, intelligent, kind man while we were crazy mixed up kids. I can still see his face as he listened patiently to one of us rant.
"For we were so much wiser then, we're younger that that now."

Dear Lorraine and family. I worked with Dennis in Malden at the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission for many years. He was a wonderful co-worker. He was a pleasure to work with. He made a difference to individuals who came to him for services. May he Rest in Peace...Bob Coughlin
