Our thoughts and intense prayers are with Dennis in heaven and with all of you, asking for peace and comfort in any possible way. Dennis is and was authentic, and in every conversation with him, he devoted piercing attention and interest in one's life and experiences. He sincerely is and was one of the nicest human beings I have ever met.

Thoughts and prayers with each and everyone of you. It is such a tragedy to lose a great family member, husband, father, and friend. I will always remember Dennis as a great Andrew Hawk who competed with pride, the desire to win, and most of all a leader on the court. I cannot express enough how he touched so many lives in so many positive ways. May God be with his wife, children, siblings, and parents through this difficult time.
