Barbara and family please accept my heartfelt sympathy for your loss. Although I only knew Dennis briefly at the end of his journey here on earth I could tell he was a kind man and loved by all.
Peace, Prayers and Blessings,
Linda McKenzie
My sincere condolences to you Barbara and the entire family. Dennis was a good friend and a golf buddy for more years than I can remember. He was ever ready with an opinion or a factoid and kept us on our toes with conversations on any topic. We missed him a lot this year after he was stricken, but we always hoped he'd be back on the course with us. We will pray for him and your family during this difficult time. Goodbye my friend.

Barbara, Jerry, Andy, Michelle and to the rest of the family, I feel your lost. It is going to be truly hard for me to say good bye to my best man and long time friend. I will always be thankful for my friendship with Dennis and for the lasting relationship it created between our famlies. God bless all of you during this trying time and into the coming days ahead.
