I just had a nice chat with Dennis in church last Saturday after 5pm Mass. So I was surprised and sad to learn he went to heaven that night. What a nice guy, great usher and always remembered my name. I was able to see the entire family while working the funeral luncheon and I could tell just by observing that you are a close and loving family. You are in my prayers. . Kathy, I'll see you at Mass and at the library. God's blessings to you.

Dear Kathy and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss i really wanted to be at the visitation but I"ve got such a bad clod and I don't want to spread this awful thing to you. Dennis will be greatly missed, he was such a good friend and more importantly a good family man. He loved you guys son much. I'm going to miss the E-mails he would send and the pictures that accompanied them. He was so open to making people his friend and once he was he was loyal to you till the end. I appreciated all that he did for me and will always cherish the memories we made He was loved by me and I will miss him terribly. I thought of him often. May God Bless you and remember always that Dennis is with Him now, And I'm sure the fishing is great where he is. He's probably in the same boat as my dad. They'll get along just great they both have such big hearts and personalities.
