Dennis was a kind man and was a friend of my entire family. Dennis, his wife and children cared for others and expressed that care by sharing their time, food and joy with us. They invited us in on holidays and allowed us to invade their home for a week once when we were looking for a new place to live. Dennis led a good family that loved each other and expressed deep respect for God. I am sad that Dennis is not able to share his kindness with me any more. I am sure he is in heaven with the Savior now.

A lifelong friend and a brother. Selfless and supportive. Funny and ornery as hell. One of a kind. And he sure could make a guitar scream.

My father had the biggest heart! He was my bestest of friends in this entire universe. We did everything together. His company was the best anyone one could ever ask for. He taught me a lot of things that will never be forgotten. He's in heaven looking down on me. He was one of the best musicians and also loved being an Aerospace Engineer. I will always love you Dad and you will always remain in my hear. He was a family man and loved my mother to death. Your only son,
