My message of condolence to his family. May he rest in peace.

I was a law student at Rutgers during Dean Dennis' tenure. On a deserted campus one summer, I had a chance(?) elevator encounter with Dean Dennis. During that brief encounter, Dean Dennis learned that I was a single mom going back to school. Before leaving the elevator, he told me about a scholarship that he thought I qualified for and encouraged me to apply. I applied for and received the scholarship, which covered my tuition for the upcoming semester. His act of kindness stayed with me. I now regret that I never reached back out to let him know. My prayers and thoughts are with his family and loved ones. May he rest in peace.

I knew Roger Dennis as a student, where he excelled as a teacher. Later, I got to know him better as Dean. The earth will miss him, as we have far too few people of his intelligence, his wit, and his kindness.

I knew Roger Dennis as a Dean Dennis and as a teacher of securities law at Drexel Law School. More than that, I knew him as an extremely kind and compassionate man, a guardian of his students and professors. I am very sorry to hear of his passing. In addition to being a brilliant man, he was a person of deep goodness.

I was a year behind Roger at Shaker and I went to his Senior Prom with him. We lost touch when he went off to college. I am always so sad to hear of the passing of old friends. My deepest condolences to his whole family. He was a kind and gentle soul and I´m sure he will be greatly missed by his family and friends.

A great Friend and colleague, I am so sad learning about his passing. He was among my firsts "go to" for feedback. I will miss his insightful opinions and ideas! Condolences for the family. (I was promised a visit in Alaska that I may claim :) )

Saddened to hear of Roger´s passing. An exceptional man and person whom I knew first as Professor, then as Dean and ultimately as Mentor. Such an impact on my life dating back to 1983 and I hope his family is comforted by the fact there are many, many others like me who feel the same way. Rest in Peace Roger and thank you for everything. Thomas A. Muccifori

I attended Rutgers Law school in 1973 thru 1976. I had a lecture class he taught but I send this condolences because he was a kind man. I didn´t know him well but his kindness was apparent to even a nervous first year student like myself. I hope he had a good life filled with love.

Nearly 57 years of friendship, and though we weren´t able to meet often, every time we did was a joyous occasion - full of laughter, bonhomie, wit and always intellectually rewarding. A truer friend cannot be found. My sincere condolences and deepest sympathy to Debbie and all his family. I will miss him greatly.

It seems like just yesterday I was emailing Roger about getting together for one of our bike rides down in Lewes, Delaware...the news of his passing was so unexpected that is makes one see how precious life is. Roger truly followed the Torah's instruction to "choose life." He made a difference on this earth by using his power, position, and personal talents to put others in a position to make a difference. Deepest condolences to Debbie and the rest of his family and Zichrona Livracha.

Roger was a great teacher. He taught our son how to fly his model planes. Uncle Roger had a deep knowledge and love of baseball and Frank Lloyd Wright architecture. We will miss him dearly.

Roger was a good friend. He was a leader in legal education for many years. His work on law school accreditation was part of his service and by his many friends and colleagues in that endeavor.

As we plant a tree in honor of Roger, we are reminded of the early morning when we watched him teach our son how to fly his model planes. Uncle Roger was a great teacher. He had a deep knowledge and love of baseball and Frank Lloyd Wright architecture. We will miss him dearly.
Love,
