Dear Jimmy and Family,
Our hearts go out to you with the loss of Dennis. I wish we could be there for you. I remember Dennis trying to help me play golf in Tahoe and he said he would hit a ball for me. The last we saw it was a great drive right over the road out of sight. He told me always use your 7 wood, which I still do.
Love, Janice (Sis) and Jim Tinto

Dear Jim, Peewee and Cindy,

Our thoughts and prayers go out to you in your loss. We have fond memories of Dennis and his continuing good humor and that twinkle in the eye. While thinking of Dennis, I remember years ago one cold morning at French coral. I had driven my jeep up from Cashmere, and saw this pickup parked on the ridge. It was maybe ten degrees. It looked like Dennis truck and sure enough in the back, with no heat was Dennis and Lesnot sure they even sleeping bags. I remember Dennis and I playing golf with Mom and Howard, using Ray Savadis's golf cart and Mom yelling at us not to use any of his golf ballswell you know what happened.

Nancy and I will always remember his twinkling eyes and his wonderful laugh.
Love
Terry and Nancy Reece

Jim, PeeWee and family,
It was sad to hear that Dennis joined his mother. We know he is now pain free and enjoying his time with Grandpa Jim and Grandpa and Grandma Reece, and Uncle Stun. Can you imagine all the fun they are having together? It has been a hard few years for all of you. We marvel how well you are doing. Our thoughts and love are with you during this sad time. Wish we could be there to help you celebrate his life. We will be thinking of all of you on the 16th.
