Dennis, I will miss you my friend. You were always so patient with me when it came to fixing my computer and many other things in the IT world
Your favorite line to me was, "What do you want me to do about it" then you would call back and say ok its fixed..I will truley miss those conversations on you trying to explaine to me how you fixed it so I could try the next time to do it myself. I learned alot from you about computers and how they work so I thank you.
We had alot of fun and laughs when you would come to Las Vegas to your bowling tournaments. I will miss those times. My deepest sympathy to your family I will keep them in my prayers.

What a pleasure it was to pass by Dennis' office and share a laugh or engage in conversation about the simple but complex realities of life.
I enjoyed listening to Dennis' stories as I learned so much in such a short period of time.
I suspect that my Dad,Tom Tracy, and Dennis are causing quite the stir upstairs in heaven.
May God rest Dennis' soul.
I pray for comfort and peace to all and for all of the extended Woods family.
The Carmelite Sisters in Alhambra will continue to pray for the eternal repose of Dennis' soul.
