Dianne & family,
So sorry to hear about Dennis. We have been fortunate to get together and visit at the last few class reunions and always talked about getting together in between. Unfortunately with our busy family schedules that never quite happened. You summed it up best by saying ” Denny will be remembered by his warm smile and spending time with family & friends. Please accept our deepest sympathy.
