Daddy,
I have missed you every single day. It's still hard to even accept sometimes. The fact that you're gone.. and that you'll never get to meet my son who is exactly like you. You'd get a kick out of it. I know you would. I just cant imagine going through the rest of my life without you. You taught me so much. I still think of your words of wisdom. I always consider what you would do in certain situations. I've grown up a lot since you & Mom passed. I know you'd be so proud of me. Im gonna keep on trying to make you proud. I love you always and forever. I will never stop missing you.
Love always,
Brendalee

Daddy, im missing you more every day. I still think every time the phone rings that its you...and for that brief second im happy. You were the absolute best man ive ever known and a father that I am so extremely grateful for. I strive every day to live my life as you lived yours. Leanna misses her Papa and talks about you all the time. I wish i had the proper chance to say goodbye, but im comforted knowing youre at peace and that youve been reunited with mom and Jeanette. I love you Daddy.

To Bobby,Paul and Eleanor; I was saddened to read of Dennis' passing. Even though he was away in the Navy for our high school years, I had the pleasure to get to know Dennis at Curry College while we both worked at the radio station. His music knowledge was vast and covered many genres. He liked my version of The Five Fine F~~ts. My sympathy s and hope you all stay well. Jimmy Krebs
