One of my favorite people to hear stories from, listening to Dennis tell stories about life and how certain things work in this world was like an ongoing education that I appreciated and valued. I loved to share some of the intriguing ones with my friends and family. Never boring, always held my interest and I appreciate him taking the time he did with me. Definitely will miss the guy. Rest in peace my friend. To all his loved ones he will watch over you now and guide you through his own special ways.

I met Dennis freshman year at Clarkson - we were on the same floor in the same dorm. We pledged TKE together and were fraternity brothers. May he Rest in Peace.
