He leaves behind his sister, Virginia (Joe) Yanke, and his two nieces, Trish (Robert) Entsminger and Jeanne (Tom) Kucsak, all of San Bruno. He is also mourned by his great niece and nephews, Amanda, Matthew, and Cody Kucsak. He will be missed by many close friends. His parents, Catherine and Allan Greene, and his nephew Michael Yanke predeceased him. Born and raised in San Francisco, he attended St. Monica's Grammar School, Sacred Heart High School, CCSF, and SF State.

Dear Virgina, I went to school with Dennis up to the third grade at St. Monica's. We then got together again at our 50th reunion of the class of 56. Since I went to high school with most of my classmates from St. Monica's they gave me an honorary diploma. Dennis has kept in touch since that time with e-mails and info on what was going on in his life as well as the lives of thers we knew. He will be missed.
Sincerely,
Carole Showers
