I didn't know Dennis personally but I stumbled across this unfortunate news while trying to find his wife Stefanie. We were collegues back in 2004 & I lost touch with her. I am so sorry to see this & I am shocked as well. Stefanie talked so highly of her husband and loved him very much. I hope her & the kids are alright.

Dear Stef, Spencer and Quincey,
You are truly blessed to have had such a wonderful man in your life as a husband and a dad. He was such a gentle and loving soul and loved you all dearly. I will never forget the first time he called to have Hillary come and stay the night. I dropped her off and ended up watching the OSU football game in your garage. Little did I know that would be the start of a great friendship, not only for me with Dennis and Stef, but for the girls as well. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Love Patty

Dennis, Jim will definitely miss the "wing" nites, your attendance at "Men's Club", and working with you on Sunday mornings. I know I will miss the New Year's Eve celebrations most of all . . . although you will also be here in spirit! May you rest in peace.

Dear Q, Steff and Spence,

I will always remember Lettuce he was an amazing man and an amazing father. Q, I still remember the day when we got to miss school because we had just "become friends again" after a very long fight, and your dad drove us around everywhere! Then we found that flyer for 2 weeks of free tanning and begged him to take us, which ofcourse he did. He thought he wasnt going to have to spend a dime but ended up spending like fifty bucks on the lotion. But he didnt complain, he never did. He just wanted to see you happy Q. He was always trying to make people happy and hated to see anyone upset. I truely felt like a Woda and some part of me will always remain a Woda. Dennis was like another dad for me and he will always be with. I think Colin put it best when he said, "Well now he can be with biscuit." I love you guys all very much. Quincey your my sister and always will be.

Love,
Celery a.k.a Hillary
