Oh Shirley, I'm so sorry to hear about Dennis. I didn't find out until today 5/23/25. I have such wonderful memories. Double dating, going to church camp in the back of a pick up truck, being in each other's wedding. The nights we would go out to eat after church. It all seems like it was just yesterday. You and the boys are in my prayers.
Love ya.

Dennis was not only my best frund Mick "Pickle's" father but treated me as part of the family too. Dennis always swang by our jobs rolled up in style and said "Ok Boys" with the biggest smile that put a smile on our faces too. Dennis you are truly going to be missed my me "DBD" Double Barrel Darrell. Love to the family.
