  2. Ardell, I just learned of Dennis’s passing. I am so very sorry for your lose. You and the girls are in my thoughts and prayers. Take care.

  3. We will miss the phone calls and discussions.
    Always a good friend.

  4. Dennis was one of a kind. You never quite knew what you were going to get from him, except for one thing — humor. He enjoyed telling his funny stories as much as I enjoyed hearing them. The time we saw John Pinette together at the comedy club had both of us in tears of laughter. While I will remember the ERCA meetings and activities to which Dennis was a primary contributor, it is the personal friendship and the laughter that I wlll miss the most. Rest in peace, my friend.
