Oh Dennis,What a joy you were to work with! Besides that you were a husband to Cindy that she really needed and a great Dad to Heather!
I have faith that you are in a good place with no more pain.
You will live on in all of us who knew you.

I live and miss you Uncle Dennis. Your laugh, and Rosy cheeks, songs, stories, and good Lord; your jokes! This world has lost a truly good, and wonderful man. They don't really make them like they used to anymore. My beautiful Aunt found her gold. You were my only Uncle by marriage, you were family to me, I hold in the highest respect. I only wish there had been more time, I hope you knew that even though I haven't been able to be around anyone in a long time, that I loved you and my Aunt dearly, you both are two of my favorite people on my very short list. Sincerely, with much love, Shelly

I love you Dad. Tyr and Ari miss their grandpa so much. Noah and I will keep your memory strong forever. Thank you for being the kind, helpful, compassionate, loving person you were. You taught me so much about life and you were so good to mom and my kids. Having to say goodbye so soon feels like my heart has broken into pieces. I am grateful to have been a part of your life. My only hope is that you knew how much we all loved you. Forever in our hearts.
