Dennis and I worked together from 2013-2018, at the Kmart in Bridgeville. Those were some of the best years of my life. We would always go out to Kings, Eat n´ Park, or Dennys after we got done working at night. I always looked forward to work when I knew Dennis was there. He always made me laugh. He was a damn good man who was taken too damn soon. Can´t believe you´re gone. It feels just like yesterday that we were working at Kmart together with Will, John, and Mike. Wish I could go back. I will miss you deeply Demnis. I hope someday I can join you up there. Godspeed.
