We are deeply saddened to know that Dennis passed away on Wednesday. We shared so many years and events with you and Dennis and are thankful for the wonderful memories.
After speaking with you, Dee, we keep reminiscing all the great parties, and good times that brought us together.
Dennis was a one in a million person. Not only a great husband and father, he was a true and trusted friend to so many of us. He had a super sense of humor, was a great historian, storyteller and best of all, conversationalist!
He will be forever missed, but so many lasting memories will be with us always.
With love,
Bill and Claire
