I have been around the world, met many a man. Dennis had a golf swing that made Charles Barkley look good, but I consider myself a lucky for having shared a couple of rounds of golf, liars poker, barbeque, and many a late night adjacent bar stool conversation with the man while he held court. I smile and can still hear that belly laugh when I think of him. He loved his family and his work, and friends, no finer legacy for a man. My condolences for your loss.

My condolences to you Gerri and the kids. I'm ashamed to say I don't even recall their names. Being much younger when I worked at Ace Chicago Great Dane, I have long forgotten many things. God has been good and given me a number of years I hadn't even expected.Be turning 80 in about 3 weeks. Joe Illian Sr.

Gerri and Family: Our entire family is saddened to hear of the passing of Dennis. As neighbors, we have so many great memories of the whole Goral family. I know my father is especially saddened as he considered Dennis to be one of his very good friends. Our deepest sympathies, Maurice and the entire Guzman family.

Dear Gerri and Family:

We are so sorry and shocked to hear about your loss of Dennis. A flood of memories came back when we read his name this morning in the St. Germaine bulletin. Little league baseball games for Tony and Craig, liar's poker in St. Germaine's basement hall, plus many other thoughts. Dennis, you and your family are in our prayers.

I can’t comprehend just how sad you must feel
For the loss of someone you love.
This sorrowful time must still feel unreal
And you’re looking for strength from above.

I hope, from my heart, that your pain will decrease,
That your spirit will gain strength again,
And I pray that your faith will create inner peace
And that God will send blessings--Amen.

Till then, if you need me to lighten your load,
I’m waiting to come to your aid.
Just call on me, and I’ll walk down that road,
Until the dark times start to fade.

Deep condolences,

- I have some really good memories with Denis and the Goral family. The trip we took to Florida one year is one I won't ever forget, He was my Dads best friend, and like an Uncle to me. I'll cherish all the memories from going out to lunch with him and my dad, to him coming up to Wisconsin to go for boat rides and hang out with the Fern Family.
Love , Anna
