Dennis was my best friend forever. We shared so many good times, memories & adventures. He loved his family more than Life itself. He had one of the biggest hearts and gave of himself more than he ever got back! He loved animals as much as I did & when Hagar died I thought he´d lose his mind. He would do darn near anything for anyone and ask for nothing in return. He was truly a wonderful person, good friend and proud man. This planet was a better place with him on it. God Bless you dear friend and know all that knew you were blessed and we will forever miss your beautiful smile and big heart.
