Sending heartfelt sympathy to all of you, Beverly, Denise, Kenneth and Bill and families. I always loved Dennis' resonating voice. I'll bet that he was quite impressive in the courtroom. One of my favorite memories was the boucherie my Dad and Dennis staged in our backyard on Orangewood Drive. I'm sure the neighbors wondered what was going on! I hope you find comfort in your many years of wonderful memories, and I am deeply sorry for your loss.

When the Lord calls our loved ones home, he leaves a gift of memories in exchange. When your heart is empty, filling it with happy memories can help.
Wishing you and your family strength and peace.

I am so sorry and will miss Dennis Vidrine! He was a wonderful lawyer and I am shocked to hear of his passing...though, if their is fly fishing in heaven, he is enjoying it in a perfect way. God bless his family and business staff with comfort and peace.
