Dennis was a great man, loving father to our kids, and an excellent leader! He always had some kind of joke and had a way of making everyone smile. Me and the kids miss you so much. They tell everyone about how great you were and show pictures of you all the time. Gabe says he’s gonna be just like daddy when he grows up… funny thing though, he already is from not keeping his hands out of his pockets to all the silly antics jokes, the color of his eyes and hair to the birth mark, sometimes I just stop and smile because you are here, even our girl says, ” mommy you know he is just like daddy, look at the way he walks!” we love and miss you “D”
