My thoughts and prayers are with your family. I've known Denise as a couch and offical for almost 30 years. He was always a gentleman and always had a smile on his face. He touched many lives through coaching and I always enjoyed officiating his games. He was one of the 'good guys' and he'll be greatly missed and fondly remembered. God bless you and keep you in the coming days.

I would just like for Dennis' family to know that he was not only a great sports coach, he was also a great professional coach. He helped me tremendously in the banking industry and was, not only a great manager, but a great friend. He will be missed.

Kathy and family,
I remember Dennis from school (Gail was a classmate) but more recently at Dr. Fintel's office as he and my dad (John Altice) fought their battles. My dad passed away on Nov. 10th and I was so saddened to hear this news of Dennis. May God grant you peace and comfort now and always.

Please accept my deepest sympathies. As a long time customer of the Bank of Floyd, I have known Dennis for several years, particularly from seeing him at the Cave Spring branch and then at the Salem branch. He was always willing to speak to you. He will be missed, but I am glad his days of suffering are past. I pray that God will comfort you all at this time of loss.

I want to express my deep sympathy in the passing of your loved one. I was a co-worker of Dennis' at the Bank of Floyd. I worked closely with Dennis during the years he worked at the Floyd office as loan officer. I also worked with him in the processing of loans while he was at both the Cave Spring and Salem offices.

Dennis was a very caring person, and would do anything for anyone. He will be deeply missed by all his co-workers and the community he has graciously touched.

You and your family are in my prayers, and will continue to be during the days and months to come.

God Bless each of you,
