I first met Dennis through my brother Berk and also Tyrone Brown. My fondest memory is when I gave birth to my twins (TaJuane and Tony). Dennis was led to believe their names were "Denise" and "Dennis", after him. My brother Berk jokingly called them "DeNiece" and "DeNephew".
One of the things that I admired most about Dennis was his strong work ethic and for sharing the drywall trade with others. He taught alot of strong black men a trade when no other opportunities were presented to them. In the 1990's, when Dennis took his travels to Georgia, is when I met the Williams family (JoJo-ToeBar, Heavy and Mike). My son (Tyrone) was also involved with working with Dennis and his crew.
Dennis has always found a way to keep in touch with me and my family throughout the years and he always used to compliment me on my cooking. Dennis was a good cook also.
Dennis was an exceptional person and I am saddened that he has departed us under the circumstances. He will be greatly missed but I know that now he is no longer suffering and in a good place. My deepest sympathy goes out to his family.

Always the tough exterior, with a heart of gold buried beneath. Surrogate father to many, offering wisdom guidance, and a helping hand when needed, and a few choice words too.
Thats the Man I know as Pops.He would never come out and tell you he loved you, But you knew.
He made a big difference In my life and though his body Is no longer here , his spirit will never be lost or forgotten In any of us.
Much love to the man I first met as Mr Blann, and who later became Pops.

To the family,
Dennis was a really good guy. Along with our dad, Tyrone, Dennis taught us a lot about the dry wall business and gave us the opportunity to work with him on many occassions. He was a good friend and will be greatly missed.
