Dear Delores,

Todd and I were very saddened to hear that Dennis had passed away. We both thought a great deal of Dennis,he displayed a kindness and grace that are rare in the world today. When we first started playing golf in Pittsburg Dennis was always there with a smile and just plain happy to see you. We both enjoyed playing golf with the two of you, it was always alot of fun. Dennis will be missed by all who knew him. Your Family is in our thoughts and prayers.

I work for Dow Chemical and had the great pleasure of meeting Dennis Pearl Jr on many occassions. He was always supportive of Dow projects and I am currently working on a project he helped get approved. I know he is proud of the work we are doing out there.

I currently work for PMI and had the pleasure of being Dennis's employee. He use to come in every morning and say hello and ask how I was. We use to always talk about the Island that I am from and all of the history behind what he knew. I use to share books and pictures with him of the Island. It was nice.. He was always happy and generously always cared. He will be very missed.

Dear Dolores & Family,

I've only known Dennis for 12 years, but I could truely say he was a great boss and a dear friend. I enjoyed the luncheons we had together. Also if it wasn't for Dennis I wouldn't have had some nice luncheons with my cuz, Donnie. Dolores you meant the world to Dennis. I can remember when he would talk about when you worked for Dow. He was so proud of you, what a hard worker you were and talented. He also knew you were a much better golfer than he. Whenever he talked about what he loved it showed on his face and the passion in his voice. I will miss him and treasure those times. God is the great comforter and I'm so glad to know he is in our Father's House. If tears could build a stairway to heaven I know your family would be there now. May the Lord comfort you and keep you and your family in His sight.

Love, Doris, Sam, Chad & Heather

Aunt Dee I am so sorry that Uncle Dennis didn't win the battle. I will never forget the great times as a child we spent with you both. I most recall him teaching me how to water ski when I was so young. What a great Uncle he was. My kids and I will miss him so very much. We love you Aunt Dee.
