As the years go by, it still saddens me to know your gone. You may have never known how admired you were and how meaningful it was to know you all those years ago in high school. I wish your family nothing but peace after their loss of you...thank you Forgit family for keeping this guestbook permanently online in honor of Dennis being permanently in the hearts of the many lives he's touched! xoxo

Dennis
There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about you, your laugh, your smile, and your compassion. That laugh, what I would give to just hear it one more time. You were like a brother, you always looked out for me and that meant so much. Family parties just arn’t the same without you Deans. Thank you for always making me smile, you were a genuine person, one of a kind with a heart of gold. You will be in my heart forever. Until the day we meet again ~

Deans, I miss you more and more as each day passes. You were a genuine friend that could never be replaced. I look at Camryn and just remember the simple joy that you got out of playing with her. I will never forget your expression when she first said "Deans". I miss your laugh and I miss your smile. You are forever in my heart Uncle Deans.

To the Forgit Family,
Our family moved from Lindenhurst about 15 years ago. My daughter was recently re-introduced to Dennis through her husband. Our memories were rekindled of Dennis in scouts, Daniel Street School and in his fun ways. Our deepest sympathy and prayers are with you.

Dear Cathy and Mike.

Having known Dennis for most of his life and having him as my sons bestfriend has been a true gift, we shared many goodtimes together weather as a family, or he and I alone. He shared his thoughts and dreams and was a wonderful friend. He'd always say you love me the best right Kath and I'd tell him he stole my heart when we first meet so many years ago. Then Camryn came along and he stole her heart to. My memory will always be him coming out the back door to see Camryn after a month and the look of complete suprise and pleasure on her face when she looked up and said "Uncle Deans" and the two of them hugging, him crying and then they went off to play. He was truly loved by many especially the Falco's. Forever in our Hearts Deans
