I was so sorry to read the obituary of Dennis, I haven´t seen him for many years, as we were students in the same class at Visitation Grade School. He was always a very friendly, good hearted fellow that was kind and helpful. God bless.

I was very sad to hear about Dennis´s passing. I had many conversations with him over the years over a cold one or two. Many of those conversations were at the Spring Inn in Elmhurst. Our families were very close and I always loved our times together. My condolences to Danny, Mary and Maureen.
