Dennis, from the moment we met I knew we would be friends for a long time....unfortunately it was not meant to be. God needed you more. Rest in peace, amigo, when I think about the fun we had together and the times we shared I will always smile.

I met Denny working at Phila Blue Cross in 1974 and we've played a zillion games of basketball these past 39 years. I have so many good memories of my long friendship with Denny and he will be missed dearly. Hopefully, I will see Denny again in the eternal life God has prepared for us. God bless!

Since the day I was born Denny was always part of just about every event in my life. He was always the comic relief and my dads partner in crime. I knew this was going to hurt but there was no way to prepare for how much it does. There aren't a lot of happy memories that don't include him and for that I am grateful. We are lucky to have had someone so wonderful and that makes goodbye so difficult. We will speak often of the good times and you live forever in our hearts but words cannot describe how deeply you are already missed. We love you so much Den.

It is believed that humor is one of God's greatest gifts to humanity. It was His intention from the beginning to provide us with a mechanism to address the tension of existence. He knew His children, living under pressure in a world of demands and deadlines, would need a way to release, so He created something called laughter. Laughter reduces muscle tension, exercises our lungs, and strengthens our immune system. Laughter is still the best medicine. Thank you Uncle Dennis for always having the prescription to make life better. The lives you touched with laughter and compassion can never be quantified. You were truly one of God's best. Please rest peacefully godfather, I will always miss you
