Teri, Dick and family, Gail and Justin,
Love to all of you. So many losses, and so hard to understand why ones we love so much have to leave us too soon. Dennis was a special guy, and I always remember him smiling and sharing stories at Gram and Gramp (Kirby) house in Rochester. He is in our hearts today, as you all are. Please know that - though we see each other far too little - we are always family, and care deeply about you.

We were so saddened to hear of Dennis's passing. He was a really great guy and neighbor. He was very generous, whether sharing a tip for gardening, canning, or smoking food, or actually sharing the canned or smoked food. We will always remember him with a smile on face and a gleam in his eye.
