Farewell Dennis you opened the door of your home to me so many years ago in 1986 as a young exchange student and those months are forever imprinted on my memory.
Have a safe journey in your new life.
My sincerest condolences to Jan and your daughter whom I never knew.
There were so many wonderful things that can be said of Dennis, but I think his best trait was that he was a friend to everyone that he ever meant. There is a hole in all our hearts for our dear friend.
With deepest sympathy to Jan and Angie and their families,
Larry and Michele
