Attachment
I will definitely miss my buddy. Dennis was an outstanding friend and I always looked forward to him heading south each winter to his house in Tampa where I lived so we could spend time together.
Dennis was a great neighbor! Everyone ion Starling Drive enjoyed his personality and conversations. My father in-law always enjoyed conversations with Dennis in the backyard and the stories he would tell about his family that he loved so much. Rest in Peace Denns

Dennis was the kind of friend you could depend on, always ready to help and lend his support physically and verbally. Wa met at the golf course and shared many rounds of fun. He was very competitive but tempered any combativeness with his wit. Memories of some of the experiences we shared are pleasantly smiles to recall!!
Dennis will be missed by many many people as he will be by my entire family. A kind, caring soul..there’s definitely a place in heaven for him.
Offering heartfelt sympathy to the family & friends of Dennis. He, Mary & their children were always generous with their time and support for Phil, myself & our children. Dennis was always a teacher, an enthusiastic competitor & devoted family man. His passing is surely a great loss.
Super funny nice guy..met him thru family members rip Mr. Dennis xx
