Dennis was a true gentleman, always with a kind word. I would see him at the Ocean county coin club in the summer months, and would joke with him",Dennis to Dennis" when we met. On behalf of all the club members and officers our sincere sympathy to his family and friends .

I remember Dennis from 1963 when he and my husband, Dick Wright, were in the training program at RCA. They later both worked at Smith Kline. Good memories from long ago.

Sorry to hear about Dennis's passing. I knew that he was a collector of coins since he was a member of some of the token and medal clubs in NJ and nationally. I got to know him better at the Mount Holly Coin Club which met on Sundays. We both had an interest in tokens and discussed them seriously from time to time.
