So sorry to hear about my long time friend passing. We go back to early days of Sumner and playing together as kids after school and all weekends since we lived on the same road about 8 houses apart. And I would see him in later years working at the Coliseum and we would talk for a while about old times. Will miss him.

Donna I am so sorry. I just talked to Dennis a few months ago & we talked about working at E.F. Craven & all the good times we had. It hurts my heart that we didn't find time to visit more often. He was a dear friend to me. I'm praying that you feel God's comfort during this difficult time. (((hugs)))

Donna, There are no words for your loss. Dennis was always so nice to the boys and I when Linda lived next door and when we came to your house for a celebration. I know this is not only a great loss for you and your family but for many, many friends. How rich he was for having that. Sending big hugs and lots of prayers. Love, Karen, Tyler & Cody
