I met Denny in 1985 while assigned to the FBI in Omaha. I was a new hire and we were both on the drug squad. Dennis taught me many of the fundamentals of investigation and maneuvering through the myriad rules, regulations, and policies. He was a great teacher and partner. I was sad to learn of his passing but very much appreciated the opportunity to work with him and to know such a fine person. I have very fond memories of Denny.
