Not a reunion or just a simple get together with old friends and DeMolay Brothers happens that Dennis does not still come up in conversations. Always it is about what a great guy and good person he was. as I said in my earlier comments, it will always make me sad that we never relocated him until we heard of his passing. However thank God that we were able to reconnect with his brother Emanuel and his sister. We will forever cherish those days of our youth and remember that Dennis was a part of that.

So very sad at the loss of my long time friend and DeMolay Brother! I lost touch with Dennis about 30 years ago, but always remembered his smiling face and his good natured persona. I and several others tried to find him over the last few years, but to no avail. No one ever had anything but fond memories of Dennis. No matter what you had to say, he would always come at you with, " Smile when you say that!" It put a smile on your face and made everything better.
My thoughts and prayers go out to you, his family and friends at this difficult time.
He was, and always will be remembered as my friend and brother!!
