Was thinking of you today. Said a prayer for you today. Miss you my friend. Miss your smile. Laughed at our BMW joke. Miss the special coffee you made for me every visit in the morning. Then you show up to remind me that your spirit is here by showing in my email. May you ride on the wings of heaven!!!

Dennis was a good friend and brother Knight was did his job with grace and integrity. His sincere personality was evident. He advised my wife and I as our agent. May he rest in peace in God's loving arms.

Dennis, I remember our years of friendship in high school and college. How you stayed over at my house, how we double dated for our junior prom, al the times we went bowling and all our basketball games. We started out in martial arts together and how we remained good friends through college.
I pray that Jesus welcomes you into his loving arms.

Dennis assisted our family with the KofC Life Insurance program for our daughters and was always very helpful and quick to respond. We were deeply saddened to learn of Dennis's passing. His positive attitude and smile could be felt even in a telephone conversation. Our sincere condolences and heartfelt prayers go out to Dennis's family. May God bring you comfort, peace and strength at this difficult time and may Dennis rest in God's eternal peace.

I never met Dennis in person though we talked monthly through work for many years, and he became a very good friend. My thoughts are with the entire Tobash family. I miss him and am glad we had years of conversation to get to know each other.

I am so sorry to hear this news. Dennis and I attended Alvernia (College) together back in the mid 70s and became good friends. He attended my wedding and found his picture in my wedding album today after hearing the news which made me so sad. Unfortunately after moving out west I never got to see him again. it does not surprise me, after reading his obituary, how accomplished and good natured he was. I will always remember his great sense of humor and friendship. Rest in peace Dennis & condolences to his family.

Lisa and family. Mike and I send our prayers Mike and I got to know Dennis ,when Mike was in the martial arts with him at Steve Tomko's in Pottsville. Then Mike went his house. We haven't seen him Dennis for years. His brother Pete kept us up on things. We were very heart broken to hear of his illness. He was a great person. You and your family are in our thought during this time of lost.

God bless you Dennis. I enjoyed our times together: working (for two different employers), playing ice hockey, gathering bamboo, or just breaking bread. I will miss you always. Rest easy, my friend.

Lisa and Family,
Dennis will be sadly missed by everyone. There is a gaping hole in our card club, and it will never be the same. Thankful that I got to spend many years of Thursday nights with Dennis! Thanks for sharing him.
RIP Dennis,
Karen (one of the CCG's) yes, Dennis coined that phrase.

a fantastic person to personally know and wonderful family man. You will be sorely missed Sir Knight amongst our brothers in the Knights of Columbus and your success as an insurance agent in the Knights of Columbus. Dennis really understood and lived the words and motto of the Knights of Columbus "charity, unity, fraternity and patriotism " among all who knew him.
