We were so sorry to hear of Dennis' passing and send our heartfelt sympathy. We are thinking of you at this sad time, Francis.

Fred & I think of all the good times we had dancing with you both at many dances over the years.

We will sadly miss his wonderful singing, calling and happy smile.

We were sorry to learn of Dennis' passing. Our thoughts are with you and the family Frances.

We were square dancers for 50 years, and Dennis was one of the many callers we danced to.

Frances and family we send you our heartfelt condolences. We were unaware of Dennis's condition and it was such a shock to us to learn of it. I go back to 1984 the time of first meeting you and Dennis and Wally joined the square dance world in 1988. We have many fond memories of those years.



Take care and may God be with you.

My thoughts are with you Frances at this most difficult time. Words cannot describe the sorrow. Dennis has contributed in many great ways to others lives as he travelled down Life's Highway.
