Sorry to hear about Dennis. I lived down the street from Dennis and did a lot of things with him/ playing basketball, football, playing cards, and doing things kids do. Dennis was always a class individual. Condolences to his family and his sister (Cheryl) who was a close friend to my sister.

Bev,Shannon and Kristen

I am so sorry for your loss. Dennis was a great man. Dennis always made you laugh when you talked to him. When I was young he taught me how to shoot muzzle loaders at Quinton Sportsman Club turkey shoots. He also taught me how to clean the guns when we got home. =) What a great Guy.. I will never forget him.
