Mary Ann - We were so sorry to hear about Dennis. He was such a wonderful man. We will always particularly remember his love of wood working. Some of the wood he gave Liz is now part of the furniture at our house or in bookshelves for Liz's lending library for the kids at school. May God bless you and comfort you.

Dear Michael and Mrs. Reckcamp,

My deepest sympathies on the passing of Mr. Dennis Reckamp. He was a wonderful guy with a warm heart, big smile and a good laugh. I'll always remember his incredible ability to pack a suitcase when we took that trip to Wisconsin. I'm a better person for having known him.



Sincerest condolences,

Dearest MaryAnn and Family,



I can not find the words to express the sorrow in my heart. Mr Dennis was always a kind and wonderful gentleman with a big smile whenever our paths crossed. I still have the darling little Nativity Scene he carved as christmas presents for the CD staff. Actually, it's here in my office. So, I have a piece of MaryAnn and Mr. Dennis with me always.



May God hold you in his arms, keep you in his care and comfort you always.



My prayers are with you.



Love,

Nancy Buck
