Dennis and I always enjoyed the outdoors adventures we shared growing up. Going fishing in the Deshutes River at my family's cabin, or going out to cut wood in the snow with his dad on a cold snowy morning. I have many memories of young life with Dennis. Love to his family.

Dennis was the one boy friend in the neighborhood I would protect at all costs cause he was like my big brother. All our fishing trips down the Deschutes, coming back to my family cabin with full boots and empty fish bags. Those were the good times I remember.

Dianne, you won't remember me but Dennis and I grew up together on 58th street in Tacoma. We were as close as brother and sister and I am so sorry for your loss. He was a great guy. We used to cut and carry wood with his dad Stan when I was about 10, then go home and play with the train set in the basement. We went to Fawcett, Stewart and Lincoln together. He used to go with my family and I to our cabin at the river, where he and I would fish for miles and catch boots full of water. All my memories of him are wonderful. You and I met at a bowling center in Federal Way when your niece and my son were in a competition.

Dianne, We were sorry to hear of Dennis's passing. We remember fondly our camping trips and Wayne remembers the fishing trip to Canada and working with Dennis at Boeing and Justus. We still have all the wonderful envelopes Dennis did for us and the Troll art work. Dennis is the one who gave Wayne the nickname Troll at Justus. We also remember Christmas tree hunting and Dennis getting wet and having to wear Jerri's purple sweats. We had so much fun with you both.
We will miss Dennis and and our thoughts and prayers are with you Dianne.

I remember Dennis as a fun and funny guy, who was also sensitive and caring. I went to Stewart Jr High and Lincoln HS with him and never heard him say a mean thing. He was great to sit by, but his running commentary made it hard to concentrate on school work. I am happy to hear he was content and happy with his life and his wife. Dennis and his quirky sense of humor and kindness will be missed!

Dianne, There are no words that can express our regret because of your loss. Ken knew Dennis since they were kids and I got to know him in his last year of high school. He was a great guy. Ken and Sherry Sweeney
