I served with Dennis on what was then the ASAPM Board. He had a great sense of humor and I'll always remember him for that and for his willingness to share with and teach others.

I worked together with Dennis for ten years. We were volunteers in our not-for-profit organization, American Society for the Advancement of Project Management. Dennis served with great accomplishments in several key roles, including Secretary-Treasurer.

Dennis was bright, personable, and eager to help our cause, which was to help improve the performance of project and program managers in all of society.

Dennis consistently demonstrated pride in his family, ethics, dedication, patriotism, and a wry sense of humor.

My wife Rose and I offer our condolences to Dennis' family, his other friends, and to the many, including us, who will miss him.

Pauline and family - I knew Dennis through his work with the project management associations of asapm and IPMA. He was always there to step up and help. He was resourceful with his personal connections and in finding resources to help the organizations. Dennis cared deeply about project quality. No doubt he scared the idea of quality into more than a few of his UCCS students (IMO, a good thing!). I'll remember him as a curmudgeonly, wood-working teddy bear.
