We have always felt very close to Dennis as he was like a brother to us. He had a very big heart and was very caring to everybody and never hesitated to help when anyone need it. He was a hard worker and always had high expectations for himself for any project he started. The photo of Dennis tells a story as he loved Linda and his family very much. We will always remember his engaging laugh and his “ He knows his onions” saying. Lots of love always Dona and Gene
We are so sorry for your loss. I have great memories of your dad, from Brett's birthday parties when we were kids to visiting you all on his farm. I'll always remember his smile and laughter.
Thank you having and raising such an amazing daughter. Deneille is one of my closest friends. She is a warrior and the hardest worker in all she does. Admire her tremendously!! All of qualities reflect strong parenting!! May you live in perfect peace with our Heavenly Father, until we meet on the golden streets…
