My condolances to Dennis family
Pat, Our hearts are truly saddened to lose such a dear friend. His love of life was always evident and his quick smile & easy humor always delightful. He will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Love, All your SC Friends
My deepest sympathy to Pat and the entire family. Dennis was such a nice, smart and happy man. I knew him from Taft H.S., Chicago, IL, class of January 1961. He will be sorely missed.
After getting the bad news of Dennis’s passing all of our grammar school pictures became more important to me. We shared our teen years together and he made them very special. Rest in peace old buddy, you are in my prayers.
My condolences to Dennis’s family. I have known Dennis for 60 years; we went to grammar school and high school together and maintained a friendship after high school. Dennis was a great guy and I feel everyone who knew him would agree he brought a lot of happiness into so many lives. To Dennis’s family from all his friends who knew him, we are truly sorry for your loss.
Hadn’t seen Denny for 50+ years (Taft, I was June 1963), but the fact that I remember him fondly speaks volumes about what a good guy he was. May happy memories bring you peace and comfort.
