Remembering Dennis with great fondness. He went camping with my family (he was friends with my older brother Allen) in 1958. We lived in Shillington at the time. It was a great month for us all.

Sorry to hear of Denny's passing. We shared an apartment during our first year at Peirce College in Philadelphia in 1964/65. Our other roommate was Steve Vlasak ( Wilson class of '62). We had some fun times during those nine months. Glad to hear Denny had a successful business career after Peirce. My condolences to his family.

Gee and I have such wonderful memories of spending time with Denny and LaRue....when we were younger and "rather" foolish, but we didn't know that then...
We will miss you, Denny.

I was just thinking of my childhood friend whom I've known since he was six years old. Tried to keep in touch and just last week left two messages on his phone, but unfortunately not knowing the circumstances can now understand why no return call. Was his best man twice and wished we could have lived closer together in our adult years. When we got together it was just like we were kids/teenagers again... what great memories. Saddened that he was afflicted with Parkinson's and could not enjoy his retirement that he worked so hard for, along with his lovely wife Camise who we (Judy and I) set up on a blind date 20+ years ago. We will keep Camise in our thoughts and prayers and hopefully she'll find comfort knowing he is out of his pain and at peace with his Maker. With Deepest Sympathy and Love.
