Dene was our Brother-in-law & Kelly introduced he & Hope in 82, during the yr that Dene taught at Camden Military Acad. with Kelly.
They married & raised Chris & our families together had some wonderful, cherished memories. He
was a great guy & a Patriot in every sense of the word & all of our family extends our deepest sympathies to his family. It was our privilege to know him. Go with God, Dene.

Dene was a super guy. We had 21 great years together, many of them with our son, Chris. Our fondest memories are at the Holden Beach home; and, working on the Air Force and Gower reunion books together for what seemed like years, and helping him polish his 18 wheeler truck that he loved so much. Those were some good years.
