Great memories of hunting with Dennis and my father from a teenager into adulthood. Always made me feel like one of the guys even to the point of taking my money at poker.

I worked with Dennis at Shell in the 80's. He was always a gentleman with a big smile.
He was a pleasure to work with. My thoughts and prayers to his family.
