Dennis was as close a friend as a man could ever have. We hunted, fished, and played basketball together. We attended Jackson Junior High and West Highschool together.
I remember his MG sports car and how we would pack 4-5 of us (myself, Gordy Clawson, and Frank Knowles)
interesting his car and go for pizza. We had dozens if not hundreds of good times together. Dennis was an intelligent and good man and was always a gentleman. His family can be proud of him.

Denny and my husband, Dave, grew up across the street from one another. When I moved and started school at Onequa Elementary School, Dave became my best friend and Denny became and stayed my good friend through grade school, Jackson Jr. High School and West High School. He was always there for Dave and me through our whole lives. Loved him dearly.
