Wow. Dennis. We laughed so much during our great friendship in junior high school -- along with Susan Cleaver and the rest of our clique, which we all felt would never end. Forever alive in our memories, my friend.

Arlene and Family,

We only learned yesterday, upon receiving our Cedar Smoke, of Dennis' passing. Dennis was a phenomenal person who loved his family, friends, and co-workers. Always the consummate teacher, he always made time to share knowledge to those around him. We will miss his smile, humor, and quick wit. It was a pleasure to serve with Dennis in the US Air Force.

Our prayers are with Arlene and family.

To Arline and the Henderson family – We are deeply sorry for your loss.

Dennis was an amazingly talented person! I was fortunate to work with Dennis on several projects and to know him on a more personal basis. Always friendly, cheerful, and willing to share his expertise with his peers and customers, Dennis was an excellent example of how to live life.

We'll cherish the memory of sitting around our kitchen table on a couple of occasions and sharing a few of his “home brews” while Dennis told us about his Air Force career, his rock band, weather forecasting, beer making, auto rebuilding, and setting up his (secure) network at home. We had a good time and learned some new things too.

We will continue to pray for the family.

I first learned about CDs from Dennis. I always thought he was so smart and the only thing I remember from our Key West trip was him making me laugh on the way there. I was in his and Arlene's wedding, what an honor that was to be included. I am so thankful for the memories of Dennis. My heart and prayers go out to our family.
