I was so sorry to hear of Dennis's death but grateful to have been at our 40th High School reunion to visit with him. He is a wonderful part of my memories of Jordan High. What a great person to have known and associated with in this mortal life. I'm sure he is preparing a place for all of us to reunite on the other side. My prayers are with all of his family at this time.

I just heard! I am so sorry. No matter what, it is hard to let our loved ones leave us. Even knowing we'll see them again... it's hard knowing that we have to wait. You are in our prayers.

Happy Trails, my friend! You are the icon for our Jordan High Class of '65--what will we do without you? I agree with Dianne, I'm sure you're now planning the ultimate reunion! You always made all of us feel like your world revolved around us. Thanks, for that!

Jolynne, at the reunion I asked Dennis how he was doing, and even though he had fallen that day while playing with the grandkids, and it was apparent that he was in pain, his only concern was for you. He spoke of your valiant fight this past year and he was very proud of you. His love for you and your family was obvious! Thank you for sharing Dennis with us. He will be sorely missed.

My prayers are with you and your family,

We are very sorry for your loss, it is wonderful to know that this is only a brief moment in ones life and that we will be together again. When you watch a ship sail into the distance pretty soon you will say there it is gone but yet those on the other side of the horizon will see and say here it comes. Just as you say good bye there are those on the other side rejoice in the coming. Our sincere apologize for not being able to attend the funeral please let us know if we can do any thing for you. Love Brent Cindy Bowles.

I'm so saddened to hear of Dennis' passing. While I know he has been sick for so long, he just kept overcoming his ailments and I guess I felt he would just keep bouncing back. He has been the glue that has held the class of 65 together and I know that although we will miss seeing him at the future reunions, he'll definitely be there. In fact, knowing Dennis he's probably planning a reunion in the skies and he'll have one waiting for us when we get there. Great Guy!

I'm so sorry to hear of Dennis's passing. I'm also very glad to have been able to see him one last time at our recent 40-year high school reunion. He was a kind man who has suffered a long time. This is a hard time of year for his family to lose him, but as others have mentioned it is so comforting to know that he is well and whole again, and that you will be together as a Forever Family some day. My condolences to all of the family.

Dear Family...It hurt deeply to hear of the passing of such a great man. My life was better for knowing him in my youth, and watching as he only got better as we grew older. My sympathy to you all.

Jolynne and family,

We were truly sorry to hear of Denny's passing. He suffered for a long time and now our Father in Heaven has released him from that suffering. It's a sad time for those of us he left here on earth, but I'm sure he's having a great reunion with his parents, Merl and other family members who have passed on. I'm sure my mom will be one of those who will be there as she and Denny liked to tease each other. Isn't it comforting to know that death is not an end but a new beginning of our ETERNAL FAMILY. We love all of you and think of you often with great memories of summers spent together. It was always a special time when all the cousins were together. You're in our thoughts and prayers.

Jolynn so sorry to read about Dennis no clue he was that bad.

I won't be able to make the funeral because of work (the Christmas holiday no requested time off). Hope all else is okay with your health, take care you will be in my prayers.

Never have I known a better person than Dennis. He was always an example to me in the act of friendship, faith, and enduring to the end. It makes me happy to know that he no longer has to suffer the pains of his physical body but sad to know that he is no longer here to give his loving support to his family and friends. Dennis had a passion for his beloved Jordan High. He was the glue that held the Jordan High class of '65 together. If anyone wanted to know the where-abouts of a certain classmate, just call Dennis. He always had the information. I am proud to have called him friend.

My deepest sympathy to all of the family. Dennis was a 'one of a kind' neighbor and will always be remembered for his thoughtfullness and kindness to our family. Dennis exhibited a Christian attitude in all his actions and deeds. The sunlight of the spirit in which he shared his time was truely an example of love for his family and fellows. May your loss be lightened by the memories you treasure.
