Although we only knew Dennis for a few short years, he made his way into our hearts and we treasure each memory we have of him and all the good times we spent together. We will always remember Dennis for warm greeting, his smile, his laugh, his thoughfulness, and his helping hand in whatever was needed. We were proud to have him as our friend, even if just for a short while, and will miss him more than words can ever begin to express.

My uncle Dennis will always be in my heart and in many others. I remeber as a child going to his house in the spring just to sneak up the hill to get vegs that he always grew. Dennis was a kind and loving man. He took care of my aunt deb so well. He really knew how to be a great husband. Now I look up in the sky at night knowing i have a new angel looking over my daughter and I know. I love you unlce Dennis forever and always.
