Dear Christine, Dan, Jim, Linda and Tracy: Thank you so much for letting me know of Dennis's passing. I was delighted in being able to re-connect with Dennis after so many years. He hadn't changed a bit in all those years. I recall many fond memories of his companionship and our many adventures. I'll always keep his warm smile and trusting look in his eyes in my heart. I left a Rosary in his casket this morning, I know he found a great deal of solitude in reciting it, praying for us all.

Dennis, you were a one of a kind. You were always level-headed, kind, comforting and sweet. You had a big heart and always loved us no matter what. I will miss your common sense, your help in life and your loving heart. We are all so sad knowing that we will not see your smiling face or hear your fun laugh. Thank you for loving me and the boys and for being a mentor and father-figure for Jim all his life. We will never forget you. Happy Father's Day in heaven. Love, Kathy
