Remembering Dennis, such a gentle, sweet man. In a short time, he became someone we cared for. He was a beacon of light. His smile and his beautiful eyes always brought a smile to my heart. I think of him often.

To know Dennis was to love him. He was a gentle giant. His smile is for-
ever etched in my mind. I can still see him give me a thumbs up and the I Love You sign. I remember as a child, he loved to take things apart ( to see how they worked) and then put it together again. His mother, Judy, never knew what he would take apart next.
I will miss him and that "smile"! Aunt Barbara Jones
