To the family of Dennis Coombe,

Dennis was a unique person. I always admired someone who can carve out a life in a legal way yet not conform to corporate America norms. Denny did that very well. At his service yesterday Pastor Heckman referred to him as a renaissance man. I cannot think of a better description. Rest in peace old friend, rest in peace. Someday we will fire up our 1970 Dodge Challengers once again. He had such a warm smile. My prayers go out to the entire family.

With Sympathy,

Bob Kistler
