We have so many memories of Dennis and Jan and his family. His sense of humor and comraderie over these many years will surely be missed by us and his Sanddollar family. We will carry our fond memories of him in our hearts and cherish the times we spent together, and laughed with him over his many times of taking home the “ Pink Flamingo! Please accept our heartfelt condolences to all the family at this time of your loss. We all feel it. You are not alone. God be with you.

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
