I was going through some old papers and found an article in the Las Vegas Sun when we all had our vans. I thought I would try and look up Dennis on the internet after all these years. I'm very sorry to uncover the news and my condolences to your family. I worked for Dennis part time when I was in the Air Force. We met in 77 and I was part of the van club we had back then. We had some great times and fun. I remember Mitzi too as a little girl who always travel with us. Dennis was a great guy and I know he'll truely be missed.

I met Dennis back in 1994. He had an old van show room for rent. I was a young man with a new wife and child and wanting to start a new buisness. Dennis showed me the building and after agreeing to take it ,I asked him what the deposit would be and for a copy of the lease he would require...Dennis just smiled ,stuck his hand out and said this is the only lease I need and you dont have to put up a deposit. He even let me have the 1st month with no rent. thats been a long time ago...we will really miss him stopping in to pick up the rent...he became part of our family. We all love you Dennis.

Dear Fritzi,
I was so sad to get the phone call from you today about Dennis. He was and always will be in my heart. I don't think there is any one that is as kind and caring a person as Dennis was. I just want to say how sorry I am and know that his love will go on in the hearts of his family. Dennis, I will always love you and miss you. Sharon
