I grew up in and about the same Neiborhood’s as Dennis. We knew each other from grammer school thru high school. I always thought of Dennis as a nice person and a hard worker. We reconnected a few years ago and shared what each had done with their life. He married his high school sweetheart and truly loved her. He had two children and loved them both. He was a successful self-made man. We shared stories about our kids. I will never forget Dennis as a childhood friend and for the intense love he had for his wife, Diane.
