Major Case was a gentleman and a scholar, and a guiding light to hundreds (if not thousands) of young SMA Cadets. I am grateful for my all-too-brief time with him.

He was a true gentleman and an excellent instructor. He was part of your family if you went to SMA as many years as I did and I felt that way knowing I could always turn to him when needed. Rest in peace.

Dennis!
What a wonderful person he was! I knew Dennis through many years of working with him on the vestry at Trinity Church.
He will be missed, but I'm sure we'll always remember him with happy thoughts.
Sincerely,

Mr. Case was our neighbor for the many years he lived here. Always a quiet, cheerful & intelligent man. We had no idea until reading about him, that he was so dedicated to service in this community through education and his church. He never talked about himself. That was a unique quality that made Mr. Case all the more special. We will miss him.

So sorry to hear of Mr. Case's passing. He was a true gentleman and meant a great deal to the Riverheads community. He seemed to have that rare combination of knowing when to be serious but also able to laugh and have a good time.

Major Case was my teacher at Staunton Military Academy. He encouraged and nurtured my love of literature, patiently edited my writings, and inspired me. I remember him as a kind and gentle man, and a model to emulate throughout my life.

(Major) Dennis Case was my writing instructor the year (1966) that I was a day student at SMA. I could'nt write a paragraph before taking his class. After, I could write essays, stories and in general express my thoughts on paper. His teaching was a great influence on me. I have great memories of his class and of the man.

Dennis Case was a true gentleman and scholar. As an English teacher at Staunton Military Academy, he touched and influenced many young men in their study of the language and literature. As an administrator, there was no one better. As a mentor, he took very seriously the responsibility of influencing young people. He will be missed by all he touched, as a teacher and as a friend. God forever bless his memory and his life.
