Dennis was one of the most sincerest and funniest people I knew. As a cousin of Fr. John Gallagher, I met Dennis many years ago. He called me every other monday for years. He was so kind and generous and I will miss him. My deepest Sympathy to you all.

Dear Family,
I drove by the Whitefield School today and saw the sign that said Remember Mr. Cullenberg. I worked with Dennis for many years as his neighbor, the other fifth grade teacher. He was a wonderful teacher, colleague and friend. He brought joy to many kids when he started a game of baseball at recess. He always gave his all. We are privileged to have known him.

In respectful memory of Mr. C, (dedicated Teacher, valued Colleague, and faithful Friend), our sadness is real and will stay a while, but the thankfulness for being in just a small corner of your existence makes each day a little better. You saw "the good" and "the greatness" in every 4th & 5th grader who walked into your classroom. Etched in the memory of many in this community is that you made it a safe, secure, and fun place to learn and grow. A++ in your lesson of life. Well done, Mr. Cullenberg, and thank you.
